WE ARE NOT SIGNING AN OLD RB. We are drafting one high. If we sign a free agent RB it will be for depth.

27 isn’t that old. He is 5 months older than Barkley and younger than jones and Henry

and he won’t count against our coveted comp picks

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Mixon is a downgrade from Tony Pollard. Plus he's been hurt a lot and has off-field baggage.

Pass.

Definitely not a downgrade, he can actually score from 2 yards out.

Good point about the comp picks! Our front office has me so frustrated right now. Sadly that is probably how they are thinking.

oft hurt and slow ... I heard Dixon was willing to take a pay cut last year when Tigers considered cutting him then.

I hear you. But you’re going to need at least one veteran back with experience to with a rookie.

gus Edwards and Zack moss just signed. Going to need somebody

Mixon is zeke. Might as well bring zeke back

He's only had one season badly affected by injury. In each of the last three seasons, he played in at least 14 games, with no games missed in two of those three seasons. His average isn't great, and he's still likely far from the bargain we'll be looking for.

Well right now we don’t even have Tony Pollard. Sadly we are looking at upgrades to Malik Davis right now. Yesterday I was done with Pollard. Right now I am wishing we had him back. Without a running game we will have to put the offense on Dak’s back. Not good.

WIth RBs it just depends. Todd Gurley is only 29. Mixon is an extremely physical Zeke style of runner. Those guys typically age quicker.

A little better than Elliott at this point, but Elliott would probably be more in our price range.

No way man. Go watch his tape vs SF this season. He is better than pollard. Difference was they (other teams) stacked the line after Burrow went down.

I mean if Mixon is willing to sign for cheap I would be happy. I know they need somebody at RB but I think they're getting one in a good draft class at the position.

We have too many needs. You can’t draft dl. Lb. Rb. Wr. Ol. With 5/6 picks.

This is not a good draft class for RB at all. Why do you think all other teams are snatching RB’s up?

Wrong. There’s 5-6 good backs at least.

That is weak bro. Every analyst that follows the draft has said this is a weak RB class. Where have you been? They’ve been saying that’s why everyone is signing RB’s.
