1. Kenyan Drake, RB, Dolphins

The Packers have been unable to get the ground game going consistently throughout the first quarter of the season. Some of that is because they’ve played four strong defenses, and it could also be that it’s taking some time to get in rhythm in a new offense. But it also wouldn’t be the worst idea to add more talent to the running back room.

After four weeks, the Packers are 25th in rushing offense, averaging just 86.3 yards per game on the ground. Kenyan Drake could help that.

Drake could help LaFleur’s offense right away, and importantly, he could contribute in the passing game. Along with 1,471 rushing yards at an average of 4.6 yards per carry in his career, Drake has also caught 107 passes for 869 yards and six touchdowns over the past four years.

Drake is also just 25 years old.

So, would the Dolphins be willing to trade him away? Considering the fact they look to be in full rebuild mode, there’s a possibility the answer would be yes. The Dolphins have lost every game and are giving up an average of 40.8 points per game. They also traded away Minkah Fitzpatrick earlier this season, who they selected in the first round just a year ago.

If the Packers could trade a mid-round pick for Drake, he could help improve the ground game.
