True he hasn't proven anything as a wr, but his play on special teams shows that he has some passion for the game.
WR's often take a few years to adapt to the nfl, so maybe he's at the point where he's maturing & feeling confident. Let's hope so. If Mix caught 30 passes this year I think that would be a major success provided he didn't have a bunch of big drops.
I think you're right about the injuries, but not w/ARE. He's been very durable, I believe he missed the first game of his career last year w/his hamstring injury. I agree that we should draft a wr, but that doesn't preclude Mix getting some pt.

Right. I'm not suggesting we use our first round pick on a WR. We'd probably be better suited to go OL, CB, or DE with the 21st overall. But there are guys with size who will be available in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Names like Devin Thomas, James Hardy, Jordy Nelson, Adarius Bowman, and Adrian Arrington come to mind for projected 2nd or 3rd round big WRs we could look at. Draft a WR and give Mix a shot. A lot of people around here
like him, but I think he's a fringe player as far as making the 53 man.
I jsarno wants to draft Marcus Monk, but we already have a Marcus Monk. His name is Anthony Mix. Sorry jsarno.
