While his salary number might be high for a 3rd down back, he's also the best pass blocking back on the team, as well as the 1st backup to Mixon.
The team got essentially no production from the two backs added to the team last year. I'm beginning to wonder if with Mixon entering a contract year, the team might be looking a RB in the 1st half of the draft. As they seem to prefer drafting RBs, compared to spending free agency money on them?
I would expect to see a Friday pick on a RB if Mixon isn't extended by then, just to have some insurance...
