Not quite the same level of Jackson/Perry, but still not great.
I'm not upset w the trade to get Mixon and Malone. The only downside, to me, is that Malone did next to nothing in the league. But even now, I would take Mixon over Cook, as Cook gets hurt a lot and on the occasion Mixon does, he plays through it if it isn't season ending in severity. My only real gripes on Mixon are his penchant for going down on first contact (he's a big dude for a RB, he should be running dudes OVER occasionally) and his pass pro, which HAS gotten better this year.
