Pay attention.
It would likely be like most other 5th round picks.
In the 5th round, you find a player at a position with traits you like and Draft them with hopes that you can hit on the pick.
When the Team is more serious about the need to Nail Down a long term replacement for Mixon they will likely use a higher round
Draft pick to do so if they go the rookie route.
