I really wanted Kamara back then. He's pretty long in the tooth, and hasn't been all that effective on the ground lately.

-Hasn't been above 4.0ypc in FOUR YEARS
Hasn't had a single rush of 20+ yards in two years (over 300 straight carries without a 20+ yard rush)
-Has 4 drops so far this year (9.3 drop %)
-Is under contract next year for a $22.4m base salary

Whule I don't exactly shre your opinion, I cannot disagree with you having it!

Personally, I think the best defensive player to trade for is Jeff Simmons from TN. He could fit under the cap with a little work and would keep the full team in tact.

Both had issues, obviously Mixon was more serious but I think Alex dropped into 3rd round because of concern with knee injuries .   Also Alex came into a much better situation with New Orleans as a top tier NFL team, while Mixon came into the Bengals on a down hill trend his first 4 years.. flip the two players and Mixon would probably be the better player stats wise.  In the end though Alex has had a better career but Mixon has been a solid back in the NFL, so it was not a bust or overreach pick, just one of those splitting hair picks between two solid college RBs both with concerns.
