Yea...I'm not sure Tobin makes all the drafting decisions, when Lewis was here he stated the whole coaching staff and front office would have meetings and everyone's input was listened to and if a coach felt very strongly about a player in the draft that pick was given high consideration.  I believe Mike Brown has the final say, not to say he can't be reasoned with or persuaded to change his mind, but he makes the final call. Lewis said he and Brown were on the same page most of the time he was here, but they did butt heads a few times like when Marvin didn't want Chris Henry back and Mike did. Well Henry was brought back.

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 think Mixon will be signed, I believe he has said he wants to be here so I'm sure Mike and Katie will pony up.
