Contrary to popular belief, the NFL Draft does not end with the first round. Neither should the analysis. As usual, void without sarcasm.
With the No. 47 overall pick in the NFL Draft, the Oakland Raiders selected Michael Mitchell, a safety from Ohio University, not to be confused with the Ohio State University.

The Chicago Bears traded out of their second round pick and an opportunity to select Georgia wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi, sparking a dozen upset Facebook status updates from the Bears fans on my friends list.
