Mocking the Draft podcast: Discussing Geno Smith and the rookies at NFL Training Camp

Is it Geno time in New York?

Rich Barnes-USA TODAY Sports

NFL Training camp is in full swing and the Mocking the Draft podcast tackled the subject head on. In Episode Five, we discussed the rookies and second-year players that will be the most interesting to follow throughout August.

Will Geno Smith win the Jets starting quarterback job? How will Cordarrelle Patterson and Denard Robinson be used by their respective teams? We tackle those questions and much more in our training camp roundup.

We also fielded questions from listeners, which led to discussions about the tight ends eligible for the 2014 NFL Draft, Georgia prospects and the impact of Ryan Swope's retirement on the NFL Draft process.
