Post-Draft Outlook:BEST PICK: Safety Mike Mitchell. Despite his under-the-radar status, Mitchell is the kind of big hitter the Raiders have needed for years at strong safety. He will provide an in-the-box presence to upgrade the NFL's 31st-ranked rushing defense. A closer look at the Raiders' picks: Round 2/47 -- Mike Mitchell, S, 6-1, 221, Ohio University...The Raiders are crossing their fingers that Mitchell moves right in as an immediate starter at strong safety alongside free safety Hiram Eugene. Short of that, Mitchell will be a short-yardage defender and a special teams force because of what coach Tom Cable calls "ferocious" hitting ability. - by The Sports Xchange
