Is the Henry deal enough for Mixon?

I have never said that there are no good Rbs drafted after the first round.

All I have done is show that the odds of getting one are pretty slim.

You are looking at EVERY pick by ALL 32 teams to find just a handful of good players over the past few years.  The Bengals only have about 7 picks a year to find one of them, and I doubt we would ever use more than 2 a year on RB.

And you say it is okay to draft a RB that does not produce as a rookie, but what are the Bengals supposed to do if they let Mixon walk and the rookie the draft can't play right away?
