Burkhead Making A Strong Impression in New England

So would you rather...
1) Let Burkhead walk, sign Andre Smith, draft Joe Mixon
or
2) Re-sign Burkhead for same contract Pats did, draft Pat Elflein at 48 instead of Mixon?

(FWIW, I think Mixon will be a better RB than Burkhead)

I'm not much of a cap guy.   But from what I hear we could have had both Dre and Rex.

And I agree, Mixon should be a stud.   I just like having 4 very good running backs on board that can do a lot of things.  To me Jeremy and Gio are somewhat limited - less so Gio as he is a great receiver and a great blitz pickup guy.

But Jeremy is very limited in his roles and has seemed to have a propensity to being injured easily.

Rex can do it all.  He can be on the field on any down and you are not sure what he'll be doing.   Mixon the same way.

Now if it came down (financially) to Rex or Whit I would have picked Whit.   But there was no such dilemma and the impression I have is that we had the money to sign both Rex and Smith.
