If they couldn't develop Hunt, I doubt they will be able to develop Kpassagnon. That would be the definition of a lateral move.
We desperately need a finesse rusher. Someone who doesn't need to overpower their OT in order to get a sack.
Other than that, it's a decent draft. Ross/Mixon is one of my least favorite top 2 combos because it pairs health concerns with red flag concerns in a double whammy that could either make our offense elite, or tear it down and ruin the franchise.
I have been warming to Ross recently though, especially if Barnett is taken before our pick, as a few mock drafts have indicated in the last few weeks.
I am still bothered by Mixon.
Part of me wants to believe that he was a young man who was goaded by a woman who obviously thought there was no way anyone would ever hit her, no matter how she acted. The lingering reports that she and her friend called him the N word, as well as apparently spitting on him and blowing smoke in his face earlier in that night, lends credence to this suspicion.
The other part of me sees a violent man who may have severe anger issues and could easily enter into Ray Rice territory. Also, he may be homophobic, per reports of the incident.
I don't really want to take that risk in the 2nd round. If he's still there in the third round, I'd be open to it though.
I wouldnt say hes a hard pass for me. He seems to be infinitely more athletic than hunt. he looked like a man amongst boys even at the pro bowl. his upside is insane he has the talent to be the next LT or ed too tall jones. he really does. if hes there in the third i would take him without a doubt. I didnt see anyone able to stop him.
