5. Corey Grant

Corey Grant would be purely looking to upgrade from Benny Cunningham. The fact of the matter is that Matt Nagy likes to use a lot of running backs and tight ends and even saw Taquan Mizzell get on the field in the playoffs this season.

Let’s not do that anymore and get a better player such as Corey Grant involved. Corey Grant played in just five games last season. However, over the past two seasons, he has shown out as one of the better pass-catching options at running back.

He was stacked behind a talented roster of running backs in Jacksonville but always flourished when his name was called upon.

Coming off of an injury and being a depth player for his entire career will not drive a hard market. However, a team could get Corey Grant on the cheap and use him as a depth back. In that regard, he would be a nice upgrade over Benny Cunningham.
