Mixon however does fit into things. I don't like his character issues one bit, but read the write up on him here:

NFL comparison: Le'Veon Bell
That is the type of back this team needs, a guy who creates and makes people miss while being able to catch passes out of the backfield.
Cook was the best player in college at making people miss too.
Fournette is much better than Hill physically. Faster, stronger, etc. But the basic comparison is apt.
I don't know what happened to Hill. He doesn't hit the holes hard anymore. He has regressed since his rookie year.
