Would you trade Mixon for an early 2nd?

To justify that much cash, a RB nowadays essentially has to produce 1700+ yards between rushing and receiving, or basically a 1000 yard rusher plus a WR2.
Only 5 RBs are making $10+ mill a year and all have exceeded that 1700 yard mark.
McCaffrey, Bell, David Johnson, and Zeke have all had 2000+ yard seasons at least once. Henry has been the only one who hasn't. 


Joe Mixon has yet to hit 1500 yards in a season.
Mixon is more in the Melvin Gordon $8-10 mill a year range (currently).
