If he were still on the board

in the 2nd when Dallas picked, do you think they would have taken the guy that the Raiders took......or would they have still traded out of the round?

I doubt the Cowboys had him anywhere close to the second round. Most teams didn't. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel polled 19 actual NFL scouts, and Mitchell didn't even finish among the top 13 safeties. So while the Raiders (and maybe the Bears) liked him, most teams apparently didn't think highly of him.

Reading the Chicago paper it states they had him as a Sunday pick and no way was the 49th pick going to be Mitchell, of course Lovie said no way was Lance DUI.
