I really wanted Kamara back then. He's pretty long in the tooth, and hasn't been all that effective on the ground lately.

I really don't see the issue of drafting Mixon over Alex, both had solid stats in College, and were high recruits out of high school ( Joe was top ranked out of HS). Both had issues, obviously Mixon was more serious but I think Alex dropped into 3rd round because of concern with knee injuries .   Also Alex came into a much better situation with New Orleans as a top tier NFL team, while Mixon came into the Bengals on a down hill trend his first 4 years.. flip the two players and Mixon would probably be the better player stats wise.  In the end though Alex has had a better career but Mixon has been a solid back in the NFL, so it was not a bust or overreach pick, just one of those splitting hair picks between two solid college RBs both with concerns.
