No. 5 Joe Mixon Will be Drafted Before the 47th Pick
Prop Bet: Over (-145)/Under (+115) pick 46.5
Go With the Under: Mixon has been the player with the biggest amount of scrutiny in the 2017 NFL Draft. During the summer of 2014, before his freshman year at Oklahoma, Mixon punched a woman in the face and the incident was caught on tape. It was not released until December 2016. The video has caused some teams to take him off their draft board completely. That said, all it takes is one team that is willing to take him and deal with the backlash. As some have pointed out, if a team is willing to take him with a 6th round pick there is no point in not taking him in the first two rounds as fans are going to be upset no matter where he gets selected. The Eagles and Chiefs are two teams who have been linked to Mixon. The Giants could be another fit if Mixon is on their board. Either way, it looks likes Mixon will go late first to early second round. (Getty)
