Yahoo Sports: 5. Joe Mixon, Oklahoma — 6-1, 228 — Major character questions already have him off some teams’ boards, but skill level is exceptionally high; has star-level talent, but can he stay out of trouble?
NFL Analysis: Mixon is arguably the most polarizing prospect in the entire draft. He ws suspended multiple times during his Oklahoma career but the most notable instance was after Mixon was charged with assault for punching a woman in the face. That offense earned him a season-long suspension from the Sooner football team. On the field, Mixon might be the most complete running back in this class. He presents a balanced package of speed and power with the ability to be a threat in the passing game. Were it not for the off-field concerns, there's little doubt that Mixon would be a strong candidate to be the first running back drafted. As it stands, he'll have to wait awhile to hear his name called. For fantasy managers, Mixon's name will be a popular one in plenty of formats, including as a first-round option in dynasty rookie drafts.
DRAFT ANALYSIS: "Cincinnati's had a history of Marvin Lewis and his guys opening their arms up and saying we can handle those kind of guys, we have the right infrastructure. Personally, if I'm a GM, he's not on my board. As soon as I see that video, he's off. But if you want to hear about the football player, I'll tell you what he is. The football player is a top-15 pick in any draft. ... What I'm trying to say is he's pretty darn special as a football player." -- Mike Mayock
