***Official 2017 NFL Draft Day Thread***

I'm conflicted.

I can't deny that Mixon is an amazing talent.

I just wish this team, for once, would prove the pundits wrong.

Go against what they expect you to do.

LOVE IT!  Best back in this draft!  Le'Veon Bell comparisons all over!  We need to sure-up the line, but good luck trying to load the box and still have enough DBs deep to cover AJ and Ross!!!!!

I will say it again anyone who has ever in their lifetime drove drunk is far worse than what this kid did. Just because you got lucky and never killed anyone with your vehicle does not excuse your actions/ It just means you were very lucky

What sold me to him is, in every interview that I saw where he was asked about it, he didn't seem confident in explaining it, but rather he sounded humiliated.  

He was young and made a mistake, which being young isn't an excuse, but he's grown from it and learned from his mistakes.

Pocic to SEA. Before Elfein too

Nah, just girl's faces.

Thankfully the Bengals have the model citizen Adam Jones to teach Mixon how to act and behave with his great example. Because outside of saying some things, what else did he really do? -Marvin

People know how I feel about Mixon. WTS, for Ross to work the Bengals needed a RB to bring safeties up into the box. Mixon will do just that. They now need Center.

I would like to cut him as well.  I would start Mixon right away.

I can see both sides of the argument. Some are understandably willing to give him a second chance and some who understandably find this hard to stomach.

For a football move, it makes total and complete sense. I just don't know if it will ever be that simple.

I'm bummed by the pick, but I'm not going to crush anyone who is excited by it. I realize there are people who have probably done worse than Mixon ever has and haven't gotten caught. It just doesn't make it any easier for me, I guess.

I'm not mad, and I won't blame anyone who likes the move. I'm just not a fan of it.

A couple things.. this happen in 2014.. he was suspended and allowed back on the team.. has not had an issue since.. the police report said it all... but this became an issue because instead of reading the actual police report that totally said what he did and causing the frenzy in 2014.. no after he serves his suspense etc then the video comes out 2 1/2 years later and then the frenzy is created...

Yes he made a major mistake as a young adult but the overreaction now then 2 1/2s ago is what just does not seem right

Slap ---> Breaking multiple bones in face.

That's not how self defense works.

With Gio recovering, you keep Hill. He is in a contract year, so he ca serve to split carries and cover for Gio being out. If he still doesn't play well, then you can let him walk with no cap hit.

This Oline is the biggest heap of garbage & all you have to show is an injury prone WR, a woman beater, & haven't even gone to the defensive side of the ball yet..... did I miss anything? Ohhh, & 12 picks that we don't have room for, & not trading up for quality players

He feared for his life from her vicious attack. Its not his fault she had a glass face and couldnt take a punch.
