The Schrager Hour

Daniel Jeremiah, the NFL Network's lead Draft analyst, joins Peter for their annual tradition of doing a live mock draft during the first week of April.

There's no better way to kick off Draft month than these two emptying their notebooks and geeking out over this Mock Draft. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
