Total Team first. According to Adam Schefter, the Cardinals have traded a conditional 2020 draft pick to the Dolphins in exchange for RB Kenyan Drake.. Latest on Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake including news, stats, videos, highlights and more on ESPN ... so long as he's ready for Week 1 at San Francisco.
He did not travel with the team to its Monday night matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in advance of Tuesday's trade deadline.Despite being part of a timeshare backfield with Kalen Ballage and Mark Walton, Drake was Miami's leading rusher with 174 yards on 47 carries. Yes and a franchise QB doesn’t hurt.I see the Fin’s trading some of their 1st rounders for more 2nd’s & thirds. Can Ross stick to a plan?Dolphins have drafted poorly for many years now. The pick is … Football comes down to two things, protect the passer and getting after the passer. We get back Beigel and that’s a LB that doesn’t care if he has to play Nose tackle.When you get a “TEAM” not a bunch of “me” guys, and you have good coaching you will eventually achieve success. But if Miami were good at drafting, they wouldn’t have to be tanking for picks in the first place!If they know he was traded to Arizona , why don’t they know for what ???? I agree with the overall strategy because two decades of mediocrity was worse but Drake is a good young player who we could easily have resigned earlier in the year.Ok, so we pretty much have to hit on 3 picks. Hopefully, we will not need to use one of the 2nd round picks to move up further in the 1st round, and instead use those two 2nd round picks to sure up a CB and another OL or edge rushers. Trashy RBs get a season’s worth of production there.I like Drake, but his contract was about done, nice to get something for him.I’m guessing a 4th, that becomes a 3rd if conditions are met.I think the cardinals head coach and general manager are competing to see who can make the most bone headed movesThis is the most painful season I’ve ever experienced.
They want to see him he can run effectively for them first.He has done nothing this season, so see what he can do in Arizona.The last play against the Patriots is the only play I remember him making. If you can do those two things you can be a productive team.It’s very curious why he didn’t get more opportunities with the dolphins because he’s a very talented running back, can do it all from running with his Breakaway speed and catching the ball with above-average hands, not to mention his return abilities on special teams. They still have to make the picks work. Edge rusher they need to grab Young from Ohio State.
The Fins are trying to build a culture and a future. If he is the answer, I’d expect them to try and sign him long term. (not that it is easy with the CBA rules) I see the current staff taking less talent and coaching them up to play beyond their talent.Besides Brady the key to a successful Team is selflessness. The most they give up is a 5th-round pick and they could just let Drake go at the end of the season and if he signs with someone else they could get a compensatory pick that would be better than what they traded away to get him.They may think they can re-sign him.
The Miami Dolphins are trading away another veteran contributor.Running back Kenyan Drake was dealt to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday in exchange for a conditional 2020 NFL draft pick, the Cardinals confirmed.The pick is a sixth-round selection that could become a fifth rounder, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.Drake, 25, is in the final year of his rookie contract. The PROBLEM has been the coaching.
A Franchise QB, and Edge Rusher or two, or a O-Lineman. Arizona will send a conditional 2020 draft pick to Miami, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.The Cardinals are in need of a running back because the top two backs on their depth chart, The Dolphins have been trading away talented players for future draft picks all season, and this move is no different. It would be nice if those three 1st round picks this year will all be top 15 – 20 picks, with two being in the top 10.
