Mixon is probably a top 5 talent in this draft at RB, and will be drafted on day 3. He's IMO the best receiving back in the class (above McCaffrey & Samuel). Past issues are hard to see with such talent, but ask yourself if you think he'll be constantly in off the field trouble. I don't see it. And with a veteran QB like Brees to lead him, the risk is definitely worth the potential reward.
I would normally says that it will depend on the interview and what round he may be available.
But it goes beyond that. I think he has the talent to be a key part of an offense. He certainly will do a great job being the 3rd. down back we need but, are we sure the guy has the maturity to keep himself out of trouble? Even is we get him for cheap, would be risking on having a key player suspended for irrational behavior?
This is a tough one, and I am sure that coaches and scouts will try to figure this one out.
