It's easier to find production at that position than it is at others. The list of leading rushers this year ranges from first rounders to undrafted players.
My take would be: Let Mixon play out another year before we start talking extension.
Kamara, McCaffrey, Mixon, Cook, Aaron Jones, Fournette, and James Conner will all be free agents that year. They won't all get paid, so there's bound to be a limited market. Yes, Mixon could explode next year, but I still would rather see what the market dictates as opposed to paying him so much up front.
if the run game is going to be a focus... there are worst things than paying a running back what hes worth.
