Mocking the Draft podcast: NFL Draft news and pro day roundup

We try to sort through the smoke screens on this week’s podcast.

Kelvin Kuo-Oncea-USA TODAY Sport

There’s just over a month to go in the dreaded pre-draft process, and the speculation and smoke screens are already out of control.

On Episode 38 of the Mocking the Draft podcast, Dan Kadar and I sorted through some of the noteworthy NFL Draft news of the week and tried to decipher what it could mean for the 2014 NFL Draft. We also rounded up some news and notes from the various pro days taking place over the last few weeks.

To finish the show, we took questions from listeners. That led to in-depth discussion on the wide receiver class as well as the Chicago Bears and how signing Jared Allen could affect their draft plans.
