Is the Henry deal enough for Mixon?

Again this is like listing 10 lottery winners and then claiming lottery tickets are a good investment.

There are as many UDFA as first round picks because there have been HUNDREDS of more UDFAs than first round picks.  You can't just look at the few success and ignore the hundreds of failures.

The fact is that over the last decade (2010-2019) there were 217 RBs drafted after the first round and only 14 of them rushed for more yards in their career than Mixon has after just three seasons (2931).  And those 14 include guys like Giovani Bernard and Bilal Powell who never rushed for as much as 800 yards in a season.
