Oh wow, you really burned me with that one. Let me show what the correct comparison yields.
Ten years of drafts from 2008 through 2017.
!74 Rbs drafted after the first round. Only 7 of them gained more yards than mixon in the first three years of their career.

Jeremy Hill rushed for 2,757 yards in his first 3 seasons.
Joe Mixon rushed for 2,931 yards in his first 3 seasons.
Okay then let's use any "context" you choose. How many of the 174 RBs drafted after the first round in the ten years from '08-'17 were better than MIxon over the first three years of their career.
here is the list.

Show me exactly how "easy" it is to find a RB "anywhere" in the draft. Except you can't ignore all the failures when talking about the good ones.
