Joe Mixon

People are pointing to the RB’s who were in the Super Bowl but let’s not forget that Tennessee just rode a stud RB all the way to the AFC championship.

Ideally we have both Joe’s balling out at the same time making things easier on each other.

I think it's a bit of a false narrative some are pushing about being able to get RB's anywhere and SB teams not investing in the position.  Last year, the Rams made it with Gurley.  2 years before that, the Falcons made it with Freeman.  The year before that, it was a #12 OA pick vs a #13 OA pick with Moreno and the Broncos vs Stewart and the Panthers.  The Seahawks went with Lynch the year before that and it was Lynch vs Moreno the year before that.  Not to mention deep runs like the Titans this year and the Saints with Kamara last year.

I think that this is a bit of trying to turn an exception into a rule. The Steelers have had a lot of recent success with late round/UDFA OT's.  That certainly doesn't mean that the Bengals can just get a T late, so there's no reason to invest high picks or cap dollars to the position. 

I would like to keep Joe, but given the nature of his position, I would be hesitant to offer him a Top 5 type deal. I would probably see if I can get a value on a RB in the draft so I have more contract leverage and an insurance policy against a holdout.
