The Mocking the Draft podcast is back and in this week’s episode we’re analyzing the draft’s best quarterbacks, answering reader questions and much more. The 6-foot-4, 215-pound Goff is considered by many to be the top quarterback available after three years as a starter for the Bears.

Most conversations center around quarterback prospects, but it’s important to remember that this year’s class is absolutely loaded with defensive talent.
