Here's the reason Mix was signed: He has a history with our starter, so they were hoping they'd have some chemistry without having to sacrifice practice reps for our top-tier players. That's it.

Is he a valuable member of our team? Depends on your criteria. He's a special teams contributor, that gives him some value. He's paid next to nothing (in NFL terms). I think all but a few people will say that Mix was more valuable than Lloyd by those terms.

Of the receivers currently on roster, Mix probably isn't a starter. That doesn't mean that someone who is 6'5", runs a 4.5 40, and plays special teams fairly well for the league minimum is in a great deal of danger.
