No. 1: Panthers give up a fifth-round pick for Kenyan Drake

Over the weekend, FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer made it known that the Dolphins are looking for trade partners for the hero of the Miami Miracle. Given how the Dolphins looked like an actual dumpster fire over the weekend and Kalen Ballage somehow leapfrogged Drake on the depth chart, it makes sense he wants out of South Beach.

The Panthers, outside of McCaffrey and the occasional end-around to Curtis Samuel on reverses, don’t have much in the backfield in terms of depth, which makes the Panthers a prime candidate to get Drake.

Given the Dolphins are committed to the “Tank for Tua” method (Even if Brian Flores doesn’t know it) I don’t suspect it would take a whole lot of draft capital to acquire the former third-round pick. At most, it’s probably going to take a fifth-round pick. The Panthers could start running a lot of two-back sets with Cam in the shotgun formation.
