All I see suggested here is that some feel he should be given an opportunity to see if he can be productive.

There's really not much difference in discussing him as it is discussing a WR in the draft who may, or may not be available at the time the team makes a selection. We all realize AM is not Chad Johnson, or Randy Moss, that does not however preclude him from being effective. He hasn't proven anything in the NFL yet, but neither has that WR somewhere waiting to be drafted.

good post. Per what I posted earlier, I look at it similar to Anthony Montgomery. He got a little pt in 06, the draft comes up & they didn't draft any d linemen, saying they felt they could get by w/the group they had.

A year later, d line is still a priority need, but Montgomery started the whole year, and while unspectacular, held his own on a solid D.

Mix might be held in that same regard w/the coaches, they realize he's unlikely to be a pro bowler, but from what they've seen in practice, feel he can contribute.

IMO, if we draft a wr that indicates they have some confidence that Mix can at least contribute as the young un learns te ropes.

On a side note, anyone know Thrash's contract situation? Is there a good chance he could be cut? I love the guy, but now that Mix has made his mark on sepcial teams, Thrash could be the odd man out.
