RB's are not that easy to come by anymore.  There was no 1000 yard rusher that was drafted outside of the first 3 rounds this year and only two in the Top 20 in rushing this year.  

On top of that, we haven't hit on a Day 3 RB since Rudi Johnson like 20 years ago.  

I don't trust a 6th round pick who got benched in college and had 17 carries last year in spot duty to carry the load for a SB contender if Mixon goes down.  I don't think we are doing enough to protect Burrow if we are sticking him in a situation where he will have to throw 50+ times a game if one guy gets injured.
