I like Barnett at 9 since we really need a pass rusher. I think he could be the best pure pass rusher in the entire draft. His stats the last couple of years back that up as well and he played in the SEC. Mixon in the 2nd is something I am completely open to now. He was a guy I wanted to snag in the 4th or 5th but he isn't lasting that long. Kid made a terrible decision and there is no excuse for it but it was a few years back and he has stayed out of trouble and seemed to grow from it. I remember when Carlos Dunlap had top 10 talent but fell to the 2nd round because of a bad decision with drinking and driving. Violence against women and driving drunk are two of the worst things you can do but if you grow from those things like Dunlap has then you can still redeem yourself from when you were 18 or 19 years old. Mixon is being compared to LeVeon Bell talent wise....who wouldn't want to add that to this team? Good mock.
