Miami is getting plenty of trade calls for Kenyan Drake
Kenyan Drake is officially on the trade block and plenty of teams are trying to get him from the Miami Dolphins. No, Drake won’t command a very high pick, but something is better than nothing…
… And nothing is what Miami will get for Drake should they fail to trade him.
Dolphins have little, if any, interest in giving Drake a new contract. Considering all the CAP space they have next year and the increased pressure on Flores to win even a little, you can bet with the pay per head bookie services that the Phins will sign at least some Free Agents. Even a middle-grade signing next year will cancel any compensatory draft picks they would get for him. So, Miami needs to make this trade happen.
Drake was so close to being a great draft pick… but he was no cigar
Over his career in Miami, Drake has flashed elite potential. Whether split wide or run the ball, Drake broke off the type of big plays that teased ‘special’. Unfortunately, inconsistency in on his run efficiency, holding onto the football, and pass blocking limited his that potential making Drake’s ‘give and take’ near equal. And that level of production isn’t worth a shiny new contract that would make him a central piece in the backfield.
At this stage, Miami’s backfield (and Offense in general) needs consistency more than big plays.
- Mark Walton has a ton of range in skillset and is more consistent than Drake.
- Patrick Laird has hinted that his ‘special skill’ is consistency and maximizing every play. This has yet to be proven though.
- Kalen Ballage has suffers the most of all the backs behind this poor line. His skillset demands some space to work with. He has had little to none this season.
- Daniel Kilgore missed his second practice today. He likely won’t start Week 7 due to injury. Evan Boehm is slated to replace him. This week Ballage could make some hay. Kilgore is small and weak and gets dominated regularly and Phinsnews has hoped for a few weeks that Boehm would replace him. Ballage’s key area to attack is the B-Gap. Boehm brings a ton more power inside to this rushing attack.
Discipline and consistency are key in all areas of football, but at running back it’s especially important because of the high frequency they touch the football. Not only do they handle the rock so much, but they face the most physical opposition to maintain control. Also, to be a true all-purpose back you must excel at pass protection.
Drake has proved to be neither of these, so fans should hope that his trade comes soon. The deadline is October 29th, so we’ll know soon enough. Go Phins!!!
