Saints will host Joe Mixon, hold 32nd pick in the Draft. Most GMs think he's a second rounder now.

NFL Media's Daniel Jeremiah reports that "every GM/scout" he has spoken with regarding Oklahoma RB Joe Mixon sees him being drafted in the second round.


After months of uncertainty regarding Mixon's draft position -- there were reports over the winter that he could go undrafted due to his well-documented outburst of violence against a woman in the summer of 2014 -- Day 2 is looking more and more likely. 

And perhaps early on Day 2, at that. Not everybody is interested, though. Among the teams that have reportedly already ruled themselves out of the running for the former Sooner, the Patriots and Dolphins. 

As for the parties who do not appear to be checking out, the Saints, Chargers, Raiders and Broncos have all either previously met with Mixon or plan on doing so in the near future.

This will probably be their pick too. We know New Orleans doesn't believe in selecting defense in the first round.

I think he's the most talented back in the Draft.  I have zero interest in playing this dude twice a year.  F uck that will suck.

So are you doubting the strength of our LBs ? 

This is where Shaq steps it up big time.

We've had trouble stopping the Saints offense forever.  And Joe Mixon would finally give them a back that can catch, and run.  It would not be fun to watch.

I don't think he's the most talented and honestly, this would be fine with me. They've misused Ingram for years and honestly, this wouldn't really make their team any better than with Ingram. Ingram averaged 4.6 and 5.1 ypc the past two years with over 1800 yards rushing. Taking Mixon potentially just swaps him with Ingram, doesn't really make them any better and who's to say he really is better than Ingram.

You're missing the point.  He can catch the ball out of the backfield.  And what does our defense struggle with?  RB's that can catch the ball out of the backfield.  He's that dynamic.  Dude would be a stud on the Saints.  You don't think he's the most talented?  LOLZ.  Your hate is blinding you.  Per usual here on the Huddle.

Not with the upgraded secondary , our LBs will be able to roam more free and DL will be able to control the inside runs.

No he is not the most talented back in the draft that my friend is Leonard Fournette whose catching ability is underrated

Joe Mixon is #2 or 3 back but I rather take McCaffrey for the Panthers scheme.

1. Fournette

2. McCaffrey

3. Mixon

LOL, Ingram's stats the past two years - 1812 yards rushing, 4.9ypc, 16 total TDs, 96 receptions for 724 yards.

2500+ total yards and 16 total TDs seems like a RB who can catch and run. Ingram has been really, really good the past two years and incredibly underrated. I am not sold that Mixon is any better. It's amazing how under the radar Ingram is due to his lack of usage early on in his career.

Ingram wasn't nearly as talented as Mixon.  Ingram came out of high school 24th best back in the Nation.  A four star.  Mixon came out as the best back in the Nation, and proved that at Oklahoma with the way they used him.  Plus, he's much quicker than Ingram.  Terrible, and I repeat terrible comparison.

really hope they pick him and really hope you become a saints fan.

Luke will show Mixon how to hit like a man twice a year. 

I'm born and raised in North Carolina.  Why the fug would I root for the Saints?  I'm not some guy that enjoys penis, thinks Frozen is the best movie ever, and is from California and jumped on the Panthers bandwagon.

Ingram had 50 and 46 receptions the past two years. That was 13th in 2016 and 8th in 2015, even with a lot of receiving only RBs like Riddick, Woodhead, Duke Johnson, etc. ahead of him. He was top 5 easy in terms of RBs who were the primary rushing threats.

Has nothing to do with hate. Ingram has been a top receiving RB the past two year. Mixon wouldn't improve the Saints IMHO. Your love for Mixon is blinding you into underrating Ingram. 

I already gave you the differences between Ingram and Mixon.  Mixon is the more talented back.

I'm honestly somewhat surprised by the coninued interest (they met with him at his proday as well). Seems like they've spent the last couple years cleaning out the locker room. Dealing with only high character guys. Not saying Mixon isn't,  and I'm sure that's what these meetings are about, he just comes with a lot of baggage, which is something they've tried to steer away from. 

As far as him as a player, I think he fits well. Obviously, it's hard to know what these guys will do in the NFL, but strictly talent wise, I think he's a better prospect than Ingram, but like @stbugs has said, Ingram has been vastly underrated since his underutilized rookie year. Does it make the Saints better? Possibly.

      Ekwonu doesn’t get dog walked under 2 minutes in the 4th, we drive, kick a FG and win

      How do you expect him to step up in the pocket when Ickey is being pushed to the spot you want him to be. Stills don’t tell the entire picture.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
