Jordan Howard / Derrick Henry / Joe Mixon

[RightlegTucker]

As far as ceiling I have them:
1 mixon
2 Henry
3 Howard

As well but as far as the way I like them I have:
1 Henry
2 mixon
3 Howard

All are great options though

x2. Mixon has the highest ceiling but the lowest floor imo. Howard has already had a top 5 rushing season while Henry has shown considerable promise. Mixon is still an unknown quantity at the NFL level.

Ceiling: Mixon, Henry, Howard

2019 Value: Henry, Mixon, Howard

Ceiling: Mixon, Henry, Howard but I don't think they're too far separated

2019 Value: Howard, Mixon, Henry

First time I've seen another member here not in love with mixon. Didn't believe it was possible, thought I was one in a million, but I do see a lot of similarities in your assessment as mine.

In reference to the question, I'd go
Henry
Howard
Mixon

By 2019.

Tigershark I disagree with on Mixon completely. But I just wanted to welcome you to the boards, and even though I disagree with your opinion, at least you have one and those are always valuable on the boards...Please keep contributing! ...and of course, you could always be right..but I really do like Mixon

Thank you, Skulls; that's very nice of you.

It's impossible to be right or wrong about this. The GMs, the coaches, the players themselves can't know yet. The opportunity is all that certainly exists for Mixon now.

I do have serious questions regarding Mixon's mental and emotional makeup, and his ability to control it. Maybe he has, or will acquire that skill. I do see that ability as being important for his, and all players' success. Hill and Gio are quality RBs, so I see Perine as having a clearer path for success, especially in the near-term.

Reading the tea leaves, the Bengals wanted to address the RB position with Hill in a contract season, and with Gio rehabilitating his ACL. I'm skeptical about the popular narrative that Mixon plummeted on NFL draft boards. Possibly with some teams, however, I imagine the Bengals took Mixon where they had him rated, a second-rounder, as they also rated Gio and Hill.

If Mixon applies himself he may become the next O.J. Simpson, on the field, off the field, or both... (Although, he, and basically no one else for that matter, has all the physical tools that the Juice possessed.) As with everything, time will tell with Mixon.
