Kamara hasn't topped 700 yards rushing in either of the last two years. If I'm an owner and someone is trying to tell me to take a RB who hasn't topped 700 yards rushing in COLLEGE the last two years in the first round. I am firing that individual.
I think Fournette and McCaffrey go in the first. After that teams usually prefer cleaner prospects in the first. Cook has questions galore. Mixon has a video that will be played on repeat of him knocking out a lady the moment he is drafted. Dumb that NFL teams won't want that associated with their team in round one but somebody will jump all over the next day.
I can see your argument. It is a copy cat league. Maybe a bunch of teams try to be like Dallas. But I think the current history of RBs in the first stays true in what is now a pass first league.
Nice post Nati.

If the Bengals want Mixon bad enough they better just take him while they can. The outcry will be the same if he goes in the first or 3rd round.
I like Perine.
I highly doubt the outcry would be near as bad if we took Mixon in the 3rd.
