There are a lot of good locker room guys on the offense that will embrace this kid and keep him on the straight and narrow.

Also, yeah there will be some initial backlash from the fans. But that will be soon forgotten, if he keeps his nose clean, contributes to the community and starts posting all-pro seasons.

Don't get me wrong, I'm good with the idea, I'm not the one that would have to deal with the backlash and I'm absolutely convinced that he'll be good in the NFL. I'd quibble with him being definitively BETTER than Dalvin Cook, but I do think he'll be quite good.

My dream draft would probably consist of trading back into the 20's, grabbing an ILB (Cunningham, since I know you hate Davis), grabbing Mixon at 2.14 and then hopefully having a late 2nd round pick as a result of trading back into the 20's and then grab one of the edge rushers (Tim Williams or Carl Lawson might very well still be available at that point).
