Some of this debate gets lost as "don't pay RBs" gets conflated with "don't overpay RB". When I hear the don't pay RB argument all I hear is "let Joe walk next year and draft his replacement in the 5th round". That's what I'm arguing against. To give the debate any semantic interoperability, it has to be in terms of at what threshold one considers it to be overpaying. After all we're really talking about what the value is, because by definition you shouldn't "overpay" anybody (in the sense of paying beyond their value).
It does seem to me that if Derrick Henry is worth 12.5 million per (and i'm not saying he is, i'm saying that's the market), then Mixon should be worth 11-12, because they're close. If we get him for 10 or less i'll be ecstatic... but there are folks in this thread saying 10 is too much.
I think Henry and Mixon are close talent wise but the TD's are not even close, this is why I think 11 or 12 might be too much
for the amount of production Mixon has provided. The one thing that makes me think he would be worth it is Burrow coming
in and the O-line improving in blocking. Mixon could really blow up the league if used correctly as I don't think he has been
used correctly in the passing game so far in his career.
