We will see how the Draft falls after and who is out there if we want to improve the team more with all the scratch Mixon is making while
not being even a decent pass protector. There WILL be a competition if we Draft a RB like Gibbs, Spears, Chase Brown, Roschon Johnson, 
Travis Dye etc. Gibbs is an upgrade over Mixon just by his vision, explosiveness and speed. Spears by his balance and willingness to block.

And a RB that pass protects better than Mixon, has better vision and doesn't cost a ton would be of value. Just saying.

If the 1st round TEs that can both catch and block are gone, and the Colts want to trade up and get Hendon Hooker at the end of the 1st to get that 5th year option, I wouldn't mind a trade down to draft a RB. 

The trade chart (I know it's fairly outdated) would have the move give the Bengals going from 28 to 35 somewhere around an extra 4th (106) and 5th (138) while sending back the Bengals 6th rounder (206).

I'm still on the Charbonnet bandwagon. Runs, catches, blocks, has great college production, and a 9.62 RAS if you want to check that box.
