It's worth noting that Mixon reportedly received a first round grade from the NFL Advisory Committee based on his talent alone.

Obviously, with studs like Dalvin Cook, Leonard Fournette, and Christian McCaffrey, coupled with his incident, he won't be a first round draft pick.
However, the fourth round and later is what makes or breaks a team, and if Mixon is there in the fourth (or even third?), he could be that difference maker to get the Bengals over that playoff hump.
I will also add that if he becomes like a Vontaze Burfict and no one drafts him due to his incident, the Bengals need to scoop him up as an UDFA.

Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins

Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
