Simply put, Lamar Miller of the Miami Dolphins isn't cutting it now that he's getting the majority of carries. Adding someone like Adrian Peterson would be downright deadly down in South Beach. The only deterrent to this would be how would they afford all of this talent?
This could be fairly realistic since Darren McFadden is clearly not the answer in Oakland, and without him on the team the Raiders might have some wiggle room with the cap. Also it seems with Terrelle Pryor at the helm the read option would become beyond deadly and could help flip the AFC West.
With Doug Martin out for the year with a torn labrum in his shoulder, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could get desperate. When Martin returns, the Bucs would have the best tandem in the NFL and it wouldn't be close -- not to mention this year they might actually win a game too.
The Arizona Cardinals are an extremely one-dimensional team, and adding someone like Adrian Peterson would make teams respect their offense much more. That being said, it is a wonder if the Cardinals would give up such an early pick, possibly even a top ten one. If they do they might give the Vikings two early picks, but they would have a clear-cut top running attack for years to come.
This is the team that it could really happen with as the St. Louis Rams have two first round picks to unload. Peterson would give them a freakishly good and young offense led by the best running back in the NFL.
