Yes they are both needs, but I feel like Ossai fills the edge rush need (he was flashing a lot last year) and then we draft a RB. Signing a RB after releasing Mixon would make no sense to me.

Bengals also have Perine and Williams hitting FA.
They could plan to sign someone like Jamaal Williams in FA and treat him as Perine's replacement, draft a RB, and then release Mixon after the draft to free up cap for Summer extensions.
Regardless, signing Jamaal Williams and letting Mixon go would still be expected to be a net gain on cap space, which the Bengals might need.
