Mocking the Draft podcast Episode 42: The home stretch

Can you believe it’s almost here?

by Matthew Fairburn
Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODA

Those two extra weeks are starting to take their toll.

This time a year ago we would have been putting the finishing touches on our final mock drafts, wrapping up scouting reports and settling in for the first night of the NFL Draft. But with the date pushed back, we have two more weeks to cram in a few more scouting reports and beat some story lines into the ground.

On Episode 42 of the podcast, we discussed some of the craziest stories that have popped up surrounding the 2014 NFL Draft. We also compared this class to the 2013 class and dove deep into some of our sleepers for the 2014 NFL Draft.

As always, we took questions from listeners as well. You can listen to the entire episode below or find us on iTunes by searching “Mocking the Draft.” If you have a question you want answered, comment below and we’ll get to it next Wednesday.
