It was unfortunate that Dallas didn't pick a wide receiver with one of their picks over the weekend, but they did agree to deals with Texas Tech's Josh Kelly and Traeshon Holden of the Oregon Ducks.

While we kick back after an eventful seven rounds, let's take a look around some of the web at some of the headlines making waves online and around social media.
