Mixon however does fit into things. I don't like his character issues one bit, but read the write up on him here:

NFL comparison: Le'Veon Bell
That is the type of back this team needs, a guy who creates and makes people miss while being able to catch passes out of the backfield.
No, Fournette is better than Hill in every way, the only similarity is their jersey and they are big backs.
Fournette is way faster, has much better burst, vision and ran behind a poor O-line at LSU unlike Hill did there when it was strong.
The problem with Fournette is he is a gap scheme runner and sees blocks from the inside out only right now.
Would rather have Cook at 9 or Mixon or McCafferey in the 2nd but Fournette is a fine RB.
