The rules say that the item is dropped literally at the feet of the enemy.Thus provided you have enough movement you could use overrun to enter the square to pick it up. Here are a number of scenarios outlined by JSRULES on stack Exchange."DISARMING CREATURE (or others) recovers the item:1) Creature has multiple attacks (notably a fighter) and after disarming, uses the next attack to shove or use the push attack maneuver (battle master perk) on the target creature to move it off the way and recover the item with remaining movement.2) Following the same idea, disarm the creature. Then use the overrun bonus action (DMG p.272) to force yourself through the enemy's space and grab the item on the move.3) Disarm the creature, grapple it with a second attack then move it away from it's spot for another creature to retrieve the disarmed weapon.4) ANY other creature on its turn can attempt the last tactics to recover the item before it is the disarmed creature's turn.5) DISARMED CREATURE recovers the item:Simple, no one succeeded in retrieving the item the ways described earlier before its turn. Then he picks it back from the ground."These are just a number of scenarios - there's plenty of scope here for interesting play. As a DM I would not allow a PC simply to pick up an item at the feet of a creature in another square without entering that square.</blockquote>
