You are right that they probably would not want that "face" to be Joe Mixon.
The irony is that the Bengals are willing to take Public Relations hits for Pac Man wanting Policeman to die, verbal & spitting assaults etc but then stake out the High Road on Mixon but only the round 1 "face of the Draft" High Road.
Low road is OK for them in round 2 probably for Mixon.
They might as well just COMMIT to the Low Road and Trade Down for picks and Mixon.
Double Down on it rather than "playing the fence" on it.
Not saying that I would do it but they might as well.
Get more respect by Picking a side of the fence rather than pretending they care about the bad Public Relations picking Mixon would create while using the Pac Man's daughter card to try to help with Public Relations related to Pac Man.
I actually hope they trade down because I don't see much difference between #9 and #17. The problem is if we move down we will get 2-3 more picks and we just don't have the roster space. Which is why they need to do whatever they can to trade up in this draft and package some of these picks to get 2nd-3rd rounders this year.
