That doesn't' mean they are thinking their 1st rounder, he could very easily be saying that he doesn't think that Mixon will be there with their 2nd round pick or 3rd round pick.

I don't think there is any chance that they are considering him at #9.

Technically what was overheard is " He's gonna be gone before we have a shot ".  I guess this could be the guy talking about the 2nd round, but that would be kinda strange wording.  Everyone assumed 2 months ago he was a 5th round pick. then and 4th, then a 3rd, oh now hes a 2nd.  Do you not see where this is going ?  The Bengals want to draft a running back and like a guy like Leonard Fournette in the top 10.  Then Joe Mixon test better than Fournette and he's showing up that weekend in cincy?  how far of a reach is it for them to say " Hey we consider this guy to be the #1 running back in this draft and we aren't concerned drafting him in the 2nd why not use a first if we don't think he makes it to us ".  If they dont have a problem drafting guy like mixon in the 2nd and they consider him to be better than a guy they are considering in the top 10... well you do the math.
