The Green Bay Packers may need a receiver or tight end, but a trade for Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake – who is currently available – makes a lot of sense for a team that needs a spark on offense and special teams.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Dolphins have received calls on Drake and are now willing to trade the fourth-year running back for the right compensation.

The Packers, a team needing more punch both in the passing game and at kick returner, should be one of the teams calling the Dolphins about Drake, who could team with Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams to give coach Matt LaFleur one of the NFL’s most deep, talented and versatile running back groups.

If the compensation required is nothing more than a Day 3 pick, then adding a legitimate weapon like Drake should be a no-brainer for a team with Super Bowl aspirations like the Packers.

Although underused at times in Miami, Drake has legitimate big-play ability as a runner and a receiver, and he’d bring the added bonus of having experience handling kickoff returns (31 career returns). Over the last four years, Drake has produced 14 plays of at least 25 yards and 16 total touchdowns, including nine rushing, six receiving and one kickoff return.

His potential as a receiver out of the backfield could add another wrinkle to the Packers offense.

When paired with quarterback Ryan Tannehill in a respectable NFL offense, Drake caught 47 of 60 passes for 430 yards and four touchdowns. He’s confident operating underneath and in intermediate areas, either from the backfield or split out wide. In recent years, the Dolphins’ talent at quarterback and on offense has eroded, leaving Drake to be little more than a checkdown receiver in a limited scheme.

He’s underrated as a runner, with an average rush of 4.6 yards and seven runs of at least 30 yards, including four touchdown runs over 40 yards. He possesses home run-hitting speed (4.4) and explosive acceleration but also underrated toughness and ability to break tackles. According to Pro Football Focus, Drake ranked first in yards after contact between 2016 and 2018 and produced the top “elusiveness rating” among running backs in 2017.

Drake has good size (6-1, 212), quick feet and exactly the type of versatility the Packers covet at running back. LaFleur hasn’t shown any level of trust in rookie Dexter Williams, choosing instead to plug in Tra Carson at times as the backup or No. 3 running back. In Drake, the Packers would have a reliable and explosive veteran who can do a little bit of everything behind Jones and Williams, both of whom have injury histories.

The Packers aren’t as desperate at help at running back as receiver, but at the right price, Drake is a luxury GM Brian Gutekunst can absolutely afford.
