Actually, the guy in this draft who might make the most seamless transition to WR might be a fullback. Wendell Buehrig is only 207 lbs, remarkably lithesome for a fullback (I'm thinking Woodrow Dantzler here), and pretty close to the "wheelhouse" for a switch to WR. His ratings in pass-catching areas are pretty good (most potentials around 80) - if h eretained 3/4 of those numbers in the transition, he'd probably be worth a third round pick.
Risky... but his weight makes him a better candidate for the switch than any of the top RBs, including Mixon. (I confess that I have never attempted the FB-to-WR switch in any career, so I don't have any idea if there's anything hard-wired in the game to prevent this from working... it's possible that there is, and we'd only be able to consider switches to RB or TE, perhaps)
