The Detroit Lions selected defensive end Ziggy Ansah out of BYU with the fifth overall pick.

Ansah has only been playing football for three years and started less than one full season.

General manager Martin Mayhew said that the Lions had just two players rated higher than Ansah.

The Lions also selected Darius Slay early in the season round, another player they had given a first round grade on.

"I think he's high on a lot of boards," Mayhew said. "We felt like he was a guy we should definitely target and try to get in the second round."

The Baltimore Ravens have increased their attention to scouting players from small schools in order to improve their edge in the NFL Draft.

“For a long time we didn’t draft any small school guys, or a very, very few,” Ravens Assistant General Manager Eric DeCosta said. “In the last couple of years we have drafted more. I think one of the reasons is because we really draft best available player.”

The Ravens selected defensive tackle Brandon Williams out of Missouri Southern State with the 94th overall pick, while also taking players from Harvard, Colorado State-Pueblo and Elon in later rounds.

“I think scouting, in general, has gotten better across the league. It has forced us to adapt,” DeCosta said.

The Philadelphia Eagles moved up to draft Matt Barkley out of USC with a fourth round pick.

Chip Kelly has said that a mobile quarterback is not necessary to run his system.

"I believe that's an added bonus, not a precursor to what we do," said Kelly of a mobile quarterback.

The Kansas City Chiefs and Oakland Raiders were also said to be interested in Barkley.

The Oakland Raiders selected Tyler Wilson in the fourth round on Saturday. 

Wilson is a quarterback out of Arkansas that completed 62.1 percent of his passes with 21 touchdowns and 13 interceptions last season.

Wilson joins Matt Flynn and Terrelle Pryor on the Raiders' depth chart at quarterback.

The New York Jets are trying to move up from the 39th overall pick to draft a quarterback, according to sources.

The Jets used their two first round picks on defensive players.

The Jets considered drafting Geno Smith at No. 13.

The NFL has converged on New York City for the first round of the 2013 draft. Without two sure-fire picks, as we saw last season with Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III, there promises to be a lot of drama on Thursday night.

Trades

The Oakland Raiders traded the third overall pick to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for the 12th and 42nd overall selections.

The Buffalo Bills traded the eighth and 71st overall pick to the St. Louis Rams in exchange for the 16th, 46th, 78th and 222nd overall selections.

The 49ers traded the No. 31 and No. 74 pick to the Cowboys for the No. 18 pick.

The Falcons traded the No. 30 pick and a sixth rounder to the Rams to acquire No. 22 and a seventh rounder in 2015.

The Vikings have acquired the No. 29 pick from the Patriots for the No. 52, No. 83, No. 102 and No. 229 selections.

The San Francisco 49ers are in discussions with other teams to move into the top-15.

The 49ers are not scheduled to pick until No 31, but own 15 picks and almost assuredly will consolidate them to move up or back into the 2014 NFL Draft.

the 49ers have needs at cornerback, wide receiver and the defensive line.

The Kansas City Chiefs have decided who they will pick with the No. 1 overall pick if they ultimately decide to keep it.

The Chiefs are keeping the decision a secret to give teams an opportunity to acquire the pick.

There is a growing sense that Eric Fisher could be the pick over Luke Joeckel, both of whom are left tackles.

The Oakland Raiders are receiving a lot of interest from teams interested in trading up to acquire the third overall pick.

The Raiders presumably would prefer to trade down to acquire additional assets as they do not own a second round pick.

"It's red-hot," said one source about the interest the Raiders are receiving.

The New England Patriots have received calls from multiple teams inquiring about the availability of Ryan Mallett.

Mallett was a third round pick by the Patriots in 2011 and continues to backup Tom Brady at quarterback.

The Patriots would like more than a third round pick for Mallett as they have invested the past two seasons in developing him.

The Cleveland Browns have long been favorites to acquire Mallett.

Three sources said the odds are stronger that the Patriots trade Mallett.
