I think Fournette is the guy they REALLY wanted...but he wasn't going to be there. I think Mixon is a better fit anyways.

I doubt they would of picked Fournette @9. Bengals love to add talent to the boundaries (as evident from them constantly picking CB/WR's in the first few rounds).

But their draft strategy was way different than most thought, as it's clear they were committed to surrounding AD with weapons. 

Down-side is the (old) D is another year older and the player with probably the highest upside came in the third round.
