IF Mixon didn't have all the issues...he would have likely been a 1st Rounder.
Some teams actually took Ross and Mixon off of their draft boards completely Ithough too.
Time will tell.
Mixon is a great receiving back which should really help the offense.
Willis absolutey was a first round graded pick. He has a higher grade than or equal to grade as several first round defenders. He has exactly the same grade as the Steelers 1st rounder, TJ Watt but with better measurables.
Quite a few respected mock drafts, including at least one from NFL.com had Willis going in the 1st round to the Steelers.
Walterfootball rated the pick an A+ noting that they had some teams taking Willis in yhe 1st and thought he would go no later than early 2nd.
