Miami refusing on Mixon
- Thread starter JConXtsy
- Start date
As a Dolphin fan I commend them, they should also trade any players that refuse to stand for the National Anthem. If Dan Marino could not get a SB win for the Dolphins I doubt Mixon would help them sniff one anytime soon.
The article makes good statements that they were unable to determine if Miami had talked with Mixon privately, important information to this discussion. That's the million dollar question right now.
If their decision comes after meeting with him privately, then it makes you wonder what red flags he's raising from his personality.
If it's simply a PR move by Miami since their issue with Richie Incognito, then that's a whole different story.

Of course they're not going to spend a first round pick on him. They had someone of their own burst onto the scene last season, ajaya or whatever his name is. They wouldn't take him if he'd been passing out communion every Sunday and gone to bed at 7:30 every night for the past 10 years.
Yeah, but they said they wouldn't take him in the 1st, the 2nd, or any round for that matter. They are refusing him at all opportunity.
They need defensive help for their 22nd pick and I doubt Mixon will be available for the 54th pick. So not getting Mixon at Miami is almost a certainty.
Mixon's late position in the draft is not the fault of NFL teams.
I was going to say something similar. Or as they say in East Texas simUlar.
Okay they take Suh who has issues, get a pot smoking money taking cheater from ole piss and have no qb??
I have no problem with Miami coming out with this. At the same time, some team will pick Mixon up.
Well the Dolphins have made bad decisions in the past. The biggest beef I have had with them being a fan since I was in first grade and I am 50 in a few weeks is they passed on Drew Brees a few yrs back when he was available and picked up Duante Culpepper instead. I am still scratching my head on that one and hope the idiot that made that decision is no longer making decisions except for what flavor gatorade to mix for the next game.
Miami was also the only NFL team that voted against the Raiders moving to Vegas.
Agree but you know they just gave Kenny Stills a huge long term contract and he was one of those refusing to stand for the National Anthem. He lost my respect.
NE also won't take Joe.......but not a big story as they don't even have a pick until late Round 3
But they are ok with Suh, the biggest POS in the league? Oh well, they suck anyway.
Patriots just added their name to the list of those who have taken Mixon off their draft board. This makes two publicly, but there are others who are more quiet about it.
Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is a Michigan grad. That explains a lot.
Late position? Define late position. The fact is, it is Mixon's talent that has him in the draft to start with. The real deal is that NE's rule breaking, penalties & fines has them not in a position to draft him! Ha!
"Late position": a player with first round talent gets drafted in late 2nd round or beyond.
I agree. If Mixon stays, he's every bit of 1st round. He still might this year. But you're correct, it's his doing to go to the draft this year.
I thought Mixon was crazy for leaving early and so close to the time the video was released. Also a crazy talented RB draft. I thought he should have waited and created distance between the release of the video and the draft process. I asked a buddy of mine who coaches on the Ravens staff if staying would have helped Mixon and to my surprise he said no. The Ravens won't take him regardless because of the Rice issue but he did not see staying an extra year changing his status. He thought someone will take him in the 2nd round. FWIW
Yep, sometimes you just never know. Demarco went in the third round. No one touched him due his injuries but for the Cowboys. It turned out to be a very good selection. They got a great RB at a Rookie 3rd round price. Somebody is going to do the same thing w/ Mixon. They'll get a great RB on the cheap for the rookie contract.

Interesting. They have picks #11 and #32. Sounds like they'd like to get Fournette at #11, but if he's already gone, maybe they'd take a different position at #11 and save #32 for Mixon?
