Also, there's no way the Bengals are going to pay a RB $8+ mill a year anyway, so Mixon could be as good as gone regardless.
Their priority will always be QB, WR, OT, CB, and DL as long as Mike Brown is around.
I absolutely agree. The modern NFL has changed from what it used to be.
While QB, WR, OT, CB, and DL are important positions, the most important overall aspect is "team speed".
If the OL is slow, they won't be able to pull, set screens, etc. If they have great first-step speed, they can take the game to the DL and LBers.
If the DL is faster than the OL, they can disrupt any play. If the LBers are fast, they should be able to cover better, get to the edge faster, etc.
