They were both really close on a lot of metrics such as broken tackle percentage, ypc, yards over expected, long runs, ect. The rankings of those don't make either look good either.

Up until the last week there were plenty of backs though who were as good or better who signed for half of what Mixon makes. That's the frustrating part

Exactly, Mixon is just way overpaid on top of what we discussed.

I don't understand the aversion to drafting a game changing back and having him on the cheap for 5 years while we pay big money to the other offensive stars... 5 prime cheap years, then move on.

You know what Jason? This actually could be a great way to use the draft the way we do with Corners. This saves you money drafting
these types of positions and they come into the NFL pro ready especially if they are a stud, like say Bijan Robinson for example.

If we draft Bijan, Gibbs or Tyjae Spears I could see us cutting Mixon honestly, just not the time right now.

Yep.

For damn sure, would be nice to finally have one of those...
