Drake to Arizona

Drake for a 5th or 6th was a no-brainer.

Idk if Quin was caught sleeping at the wheel or what but he don’t seem to have a plan to fix the RB position.

Traded a 5th or 6th for a career backup, who is also on the last year of his deal , who gave up snaps to Mark Walton on the worst team in football is not “fixing” the position. I would much rather take a reasonable flyer on Gordon, who has shown to be a legit starter, or trade for Penny who has upside and is under team control for 3.5 years.

Great idea, let’s trade more high picks for more oft-injured RB’s!

Drake got off to a good start.

15 carries 110 yards 1 TD 0 fumbles
4 receptions 52 yards (caught all 4 targets)

Maybe Lions can sign Jonas Gray. He had 4 TDs and 200 yards in a game before.

DET is still alive for a wild card and Drake would have been a good bet. AZ will have a higher 5th round pick, I suppose that’s the reason AZ got him. Not sure why they couldn’t have sweetened it a bit with say a 6th in 2021. Maybe they tried that, who knows. But there is plenty of time before 2021 to find ways to add picks… now they are kinda screwed. Jay Ajayi is still out there, but to me he’s a step down from Drake, who I think is underrated and has starter ability. Frustrating.

And most importantly, he played for the Patriots.
