My point was RB are more situationally dependent than other positions. Gurley is a great example of that. He's an elite RB but the situation is terrible around him and he struggled last year. If Mixon went to the Titans he would struggle to get playing time.
When I watch Mixon play I see a poor man's David Johnson. That's not as big of a knock as it sounds. There is only one David Johnson in the NFL. He has a similar skill set to David Johnson but he's not the freak athlete DJ is. We saw that at his pro day and you see that on the field.
Right now factoring in the off the field risk (which is significant with Mixon) and his Pro day numbers which were good he's 3rd or 4th in my RB rankings right now.
When we see where all these guys go the rankings will change though......
