Mocking the Draft podcast: Comparing the 2014 NFL Draft quarterbacks on Episode 16

There is a logjam at the top of the 2014 NFL Draft quarterback rankings.

Streeter Lecka

Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota has started to validate the considerable hype surrounding him as an NFL Draft prospect. But where does he fit in among the best quarterbacks eligible for the 2014 NFL Draft?We discussed that on Episode 16 of the Mocking the Draft podcast.

We also previewed the upcoming week of college football, including the game of the decade in the ACC between Clemson and Florida State. We touched base on Tajh Boyd, whom we haven't discussed much since the beginning of the season.

As always, the remaining time was spent answering questions from readers. That led to a discussion about some under the radar Missouri prospects and Wisconsin linebacker Chris Borland.
