Mocking the Draft podcast: Discussing Trent Richardson trade, Johnny Manziel on Episode 12

Redshirt sophomore quarterbacks and a blockbuster trade spice up Episode 12 of the podcast.

After a busy Week 3 schedule in college football and the Cleveland Browns trading away Trent Richardson just 18 games into his career, Episode 12 of the Mocking the Draft podcast was predictably a busy one.

We opened up the show by trying to figure out what exactly the Browns were thinking by getting rid of a player they drafted No. 3 overall just over a year ago. The Browns are clearly looking towards the future and have thrust themselves into the running for the No. 1 overall pick by trading away their best offensive playmaker.

Later in the show, we recapped Week 3 of college football with a focus on the NFL Draft. Three redshirt sophomore quarterbacks dominated the discussion. Johnny Manziel, Marcus Mariota and Brett Hundley all improve their stock over the weekend and all have a shot at the first round.
