With the 47th Pick in the 2009 Draft.....

The Oakland Raiders select Ohio DB Michael Mitchell. The former CovCath Colonel and Highlands Bluebird was certainly one of the suprise selections in this years Draft. Most of the Draft Experts out there have panned this selection, saying that Mitchell in Round 2 is a BIG reach. While certainly he has good NFL Safety size, and was impressive in his predraft workouts, a lot of people pointed to the fact that he wasn't productive enough at the college level against lower level competition to warrant a second round selection.

We'll see if Mitchell and the Raiders can prove the critics wrong.
