Grading all the trades and picks made in the movie ‘Draft Day’

“Come on, Tom. Dilo with me, panqueque eating Motherf *** er.”

If there were ever a way for a general manager to show that he had all the influence on commercial negotiations, something like that would sound. That is the line that the fictional of the general manager of Cleveland Brown, Sonny Weaver Jr., played by Kevin Costner, falls when he tries to make an exchange with the Seattle Seahawks for the finish line in the climatic scene of the 2014 film “

In the film, Cleveland changes three important offers on the 1st of the draft while Weaver tries to revitalize the organization and at the same time keep its work safe. Weaver is also dealing with the recent death of his father, Sonny Weaver Mr., who had previously trained the Browns. In addition to that, he learns earlier on the day that his girlfriend and the Browns Cap Ali Parker Guru (Jennifer Garner) is pregnant.

If those developments are being stirred emotionally taxing enough, Weaver is also in an organized job with his chief coach, Vince Penn (Denis Leary). Drawing parallel to Barry Switzer, Penn seeks a return to glory after an output without ceremonies as a coach of the cowboys despite taking them to a Super Bowl title. The success of Penn’s adjustment makes him think better than his general manager, and is talking with GMS of other teams behind Weaver. When the two have a disagreement, Penn enters the Weaver office on the day of the dress and burns an exploration report when the chief coach threatens to quit smoking on multiple occasions.

Despite all that drama, Weaver can get some movements that are portrayed as a robbery, with the Browns fans singing: “Super Bowl! Super Bowl!” In one of the final scenes of the film. Were the Weaver maneuvers so large, thought?

Let us qualify the trade -made trads and selections made in the movie “Draft Day”.

Brown’s Country No. 1 General Pick of Seahawks for three first round selections, including the general selection of No. 7

In the Opening Scene, the General Manager of the Seahawks, Tom Michaels (Patrick St. Esprit), has the opportunity to take advantage of Weaver, calling the Browns general manager to try to make an exchange that involves the general selection number 1.

The intuition of Michaels is correct. Weaver, who is represented as an intrepid leader (says goodbye to his father as Browns chief coach!), He is in a state of vulnerability when Draft’s day arrives. In addition to crying the loss of his father, Weaver is implored by the owner of the Browns, Anthony Molina (Frank Langella) to do something monumental in the draft.

“The defense does not splashes. Sonny, people pay to get wet,” Molina tells Weaver when the two are in an empty aquatic park (symbolism!).

That event takes Weaver to call Michaels, who initially sacrificed to give up not. 1 General Selection for General Selection No. 7, a future first round selection and a third round selection. With the current Heisman Bo Callahan winner (Josh Pence) being the alleged selection No. 1, that does not seem to be a bad tour in exchange for a possible franchise field marshal.

However, after Count Weaver, “Football would save in Cleveland” if he gets the Browns no. 1 Choose, Michaels raises the price. He now wants three first round selections, including general selection number 7, for the best general selection in the 2014 NFL Draft.

Weaver, who is negotiating the agreement while leading to the Browns facilities, accepts the sacrifice without consulting anyone. He renounces the future capital of Draft of his team in the same way, making a movement for a fair field marshal although Cleveland does not need one (although the current opener Brian Drew lost a good part of the previous season). Meanwhile, the Seahawks argue that they are happy with their field marshal situation despite the end of presumably with the league sausage the previous year.

Most commercial selection value graphics suggest that the Browns wereanized in this agreement. The Fitzgerald-Spielberger Draft list of Overthecap.com has the Browns to deliver 4,502 points in Draft selections, while the general selection No. 1 is worth 3,000 points. But the price to jump and ensure a possible field marshal of the franchise with the No. 1 General election has generally cost so much over the years. In 2023, the Carolina Panthers sent the general selection number 9, a future first round selection, two selections of second round and the open receiver DJ Moore to the Chicago Bears for selection number 1, which they used in the field marshal Bryce Young.

Even so, why are Browns perform so much when they insist that they like their field marshal? What a blow of the Seahawks.

Browns ensures the number 6 of general selection for three selections of second round

The Browns make a choice that would have seen a leg as one of the most impressive in the history of the NFL in number 1, selecting the Ohio State Votee Mack supporter. The choice makes Molina so furious that Heyhow obtains from New York City to Cleveland for when the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have selection No. 6, are on the clock.

With the jaguars above and Callahan falling, Weaver recovers its arrogance. Take advantage of Jaguars’ inexperienced general manager, Jeff Carson (Pat Healy), who doubts and does not want to make the call about Callahan’s writing.

Weaver determines that he will make the decision from Carson’s hands for three second round teams. Carson is sacrificed with four second round teams, but is established by three as Weaver is beginning to show the machismo that many other Costner characters have.

The value table of the Draft Fitzgerald-Spielberger says that the Jaguars won this exchange, receiving 3,279 points in the capital of the Draft compared to 2,092 points for the Browns. But leaving a selection of the 10 best and not getting a first round selection in return is Child of Brutal, as special with a talent like Callahan still on the board. Carson did not open trade negotiations, which seems to be a common occurrence in the universe of “Draft Day”.

The Browns obtain number 7, their two future first -round teams and “David Goddamn Putney” for No. 6 in general

Do you remember when the Seahawks indicated that they didn’t need Callahan? Well, it turns out that they want it, and Michaels thought Heyly took one quick about Weaver.

Instead, Weaover turns the script in Michaels and contains all the leverage. He knows it too. Weaver shoots with the same lines as Seahawks’s general manager used to him that morning. When Michaels does not agree with Weaver’s sacrifice to recover his first round selections for selection number 6, the Browns general manager tells him: “We live in a different world than we did 30 seconds ago.”

Weaver asks “David Goddamn Putney”, who seems to be an outstanding point returner, in addition to his request to return from his first round selections. Seahawks force them to get their quartback.

By the time the exchange is final, Weaver’s three trades have taken the no. 1 General selection and putney for three second round selections. Only without knowing where the second round selections will fall in the future, that is an impression. Meanwhile, the Seahawks left Putney while moving six selections from the place number 1. Congrratulations, Michaels, you played yourself.

Qualifying the selections

LB Votee Mack

Weaver shows an affinity by Mack, and is understandable. The product of the state of Ohio, played by the late Chadwick Boseman, was a star for the Buckeyes, registering four catches when they put on the Wisconsin team in Callahan. The Browns explorers marveled at Mack’s ability when they saw their film, while their only defect seems to twitte their thoughts per whim.

However, Mack does not seem to be at stake as the number 1 selection before the Browns’ trade for the National Team. Before Weaver gets the selection, Mack begs the general manager of the Browns to write it in number 7 or could fall into late adolescence. The Houston Texans also show interest in Mack, with their general manager by calling Weaver for more information about him. The Texans remain on the board until number 15, he thought.

So, even if not. 1 selection was supposed to be “Votee Mack whatever happens”, this was an incredible reach.

Grade: f

QB Bo Callahan

We do not learn much about the skill of Campo de Callahan in the “Draft Day”, but how small we see is impressive. While shooking in a play after being fired by Mack in the Wisconsin-Ohio state game, Callahan made a great launch in the race after escaping a sack to launch a touchdown. That work led one of Cleveland’s evaluators to compare it with Ben Roethlisberger.

But Callahan has some ego. It is rumored that none of his teammates attended his birthday party more recently. However, there are other characters beyond that. He needs an agent to tell him how to talk to Weaver on the phone, and leaves the green room when he is not selected with the No. 1 General Selection. We also discovered the song about reading another team’s play book in the Draft process.

Talent certainly seems to be there with Callahan. However, who knows if you can build everything together. Well in Michaels for initially exchanging from the no. 1 choice, but the decision to continue writing it in number 6, even when they liked his field of field marshal was questionable.

Grade: c

RB Ray Jennings

Similar to Callahan, we don’t know much about Jennings (Arian Foster) as a player. The product of the Florida state apparently has a launch game in a room and 26 and made it a touchdown, which would make it one of the best runners in the game. He also had 2,000 total yards in his last university season, helping him become a Heisman finalist.

However, Jennings also has a group of characters. He was arrested with an assault and aggression position when he was invaded in a Braawl before the draft. Jennings defends Weaver in a phone call when the Browns general manager questions her role in the fight.

Finally, the Browns choose to write Jennings. It is implied that Jennings, who is the son of the Browns Earl Jennings (Terry Crews) legend, is selected partly due to family ties with the organization. Penn and Weaver’s father also wanted Jennings.

Even so, are good reasons to choose a player in the top 10? Probably not, but Jennings is definitely a player.
