Mocking the Draft podcast Episode 40: Zach Mettenberger, Tom Savage and other weird NFL Draft news

Sometimes it’s tough to figure out what’s going on in the NFL Draft.

Rick Osentoski-USA TODAY Sports

The 2014 NFL Draft is starting to get weird.

Teddy Bridgewater is falling, Tom Savage is falling and it still seems that nobody has a clue what's going to happen with the No.1 overall pick in the draft.

There was plenty of news to hit on in Episode 40 of the Mocking the Draft podcast, including a whole bunch of trade rumors, Zach Mettenberger's pro day, and the sudden buzz around a few lower ranked quarterbacks in this class. There are also a few picks in mock drafts that seem to be becoming a consensus, so we tried to figure out why that is. We discussed all of that and took a bunch of questions from listeners on the show.
