On-field Mixon has been compared to LeVeon Bell and David Johnson. Quite lofty comparisons.

It's a big gamble on the character issues though.

Cook would have been just as big of a gamble.

Mixon is probably a better pass catcher than both Fournette and Cook and had a lot of explosive plays in Oklahoma.

I like the pick.  He's got another chance.  If he screws up that chance, then it's all over for him. But I prefer to believe he's learned from his mistake 3 years ago, appreciates that he's got a life changing opportunity, and will work hard for this team.
