Yes, it was dispelled. After both ESPN and the NFL Network mocked the selection, the Raiders announced that they had to take Mitchell with this pick because he would have been chosen by another team w/in a few picks (I want to say Atlanta). After making those comments, the other team (again, I think it was Atlanta) said there was no truth to it.
Sounds like the Raiders got seriously punked.
But as for Mitchell not being a combine invite...neither was the guy picked #58.
