The odds of Joe Mixon going late 1st round continue to rise.

There's adequate scuttlebutt out there that atleast 10 teams want a crack at Mixon and are targeting him, hoping to pick him up in the 2nd round.  

Saints, Redskins, Vikings, Bengals, Lions, Raiders, Bucs, Browns, Broncos, Eagles.

One of the above squads will pull that off.

Set aside the horribleness of Mixon's offence and it's simple economics at this point: What squad is willing to weigh the inital PR hit vs Mixon's skill set? What GM is willing to put his neck out there and make that move? The answer is that one of them is because nine others are planning on it anyway

Mixon talent skill set makes him arguably the number one back in this draft, he's as physically quick as Bell and as physical between the tackles as Blunt and there is no where near the amount of tread worn down on his tires vs the other feature backs in the class.

This crapstorm is coming. Be ready for it.
