Joe Mixon Thread: 4 Year extension in Cincy

[onetwothree]

Since it appears that many of you have him locked into your top 5-6 right now, my question is how much will you guys let his draft position effect where you rank him?

If a team is going to deal w/ all of the drama that comes with drafting him, they like what they see talent wise and are planning to use him. Why else would you put up with the circus?

[Shaft4783]

Not a chance in hell I'd touch him that early... his off-field issues are just too massive for me to trust he can keep himself clean

Good, good.... give in to your anger!

Mixon's first broad jump was 9'10" and first vertical was 35" if anybody was wondering.

[Dynastychamp111]

All these people saying he will go undrafted are going to eat crow. 24 teams set to meet with him, 4 or 5 already have last night. ill be taking him at 1.4 if Cook/Fournette/Corey Davis are already taken. MW moves to 1.5 for me.

[kasermap]

He just ran a 4.43, 35" vertical, and 118" broad jump

Mixon's first broad jump was 9'10" and first vertical was 35" if anybody was wondering.

Exhibits above average explosiveness when compared to the other backs in this class. Neither jump is earth shattering but a good showing. Stock remains the same?

[James McGhee]

Wrote that before the 40 time was posted. Is 4.43 accurate or was it hand timed and we should add .15?

If it's 4.43 then that is a helluva run for 220+ lbs.

Size, speed, college production, comp to Lev Bell. Yes he has off the field concerns which is why he isnt in the discussion of 1.1.

[kasermap]

That is what OU currently has listed on their site. One tweet said the watches ranged from 4.42-4.46.

[IBall2]

Did he have to weigh in at the pro-day? I don't see any official weight for Mixon anywhere.

The off field doesn't really worry me. Yes, its was a terrible decision on his part, and he shouldn't have laid his hands on her (I don't see a reason for a man to lay his hands on a woman unless he needs to for his own safety), nor followed her. But, she did go after him first, he was 18, he has made efforts to make amends, and has been clean ever since, except getting upset for getting a ticket (yes he was allegedly very animated, and tore up the ticket and threw it, but c'mon, he is a kid and he is probably used to getting his way, he should mature).
What really makes me think he can make it in the NFL with his past is that Joy Taylor of Undisputed on FS1 (who has been part of domestic violence) said that even she forgives the guys for his actions, and she doesn't think a bad decision from when he was 18 should affect his ability to play in the NFL, and she has every right in the world to crucify the guy on national TV, but even she made her case for him.

I'm taking this guy ASAP or one of the big 4 will fall to me at 1.05

[Phaded]

Pro day aside - character issues aside - why do people love this guy as a player?
I watched his tape a couple months back and came away with the "he is a good, but not great RB" mindset.

[brooklynkid]

I have a strong feeling that Mixon will be taken in the 2nd or 3rd round no way he's getting undrafted. I have the 1.03 in one League and if one of the backs fall i might take Mixon over them depending on the landing spot. Mixon can do everything Cook can do. He's a better Pass catcher then Leonard, he's explosive and has all the tools to be 3 down back imo

[ninotoreS]

I think it's imminently possible Mixon has a RB1 fantasy season or two as a pro football player. Heck, or more.

I'm still gonna let someone else draft him. I don't need to win at fantasy football that much.

[Risky bidness]

Combine and pro day don't change anything for me. I have all these players above Mixon.

Fournette
Cook
Davis
Williams
McCaffery
Howard
Engram
Ross
