21. Detroit Lions: RB Joe Mixon, Oklahoma

Somebody is going to take Joe Mixon. Whether it is in the seventh round or the first round, teams are going to get the same PR backlash from taking Mixon.

Talent-wise, Mixon is right there with Fournette and Cook, but a potential repeat offender in the area of domestic violence is a big red flag.

Detroit needs running back help and decide to take the risk on Mixon.
