Draft Day is an Extremely Stupid Movie 

Ayyye props for the Hester mention. One of my faves

The owner being a win now idiot was pretty on brand though

As a Cleveland browns fan I can agree

Propaganda at its finest. Cleveland to follow would be a shit show

It’s pretty common Cleveland is in the low end of the draft. Especially when this movie was made

I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THIS😭😭😭😭

A very Browns thing to do.

The most realistic thing in the movie.

They had to kake it very realistic. Its a browns thing to do

I mean that does sound like the Browns

See the present team for their quarterback. Three #1 for semi-star.

Definitely not the most professional work environment

@@AndaiMB it is Cleveland after all

Did they know though? I had always gotten the impression they were seeing each other in secret.

@@AndaiMBThe movie director not just a browns fanboy with a power fantasy but a sexual fantasy too? Damn lmao

@@MustacheDLuffyGeorge Kokkinnis took inspiration from this movie

I think we’d all like to forget

ain’t no party like a diddy party

I'm here right after his video release 😮

Diddy loves playing with the Browns

I agree. I thought this film was stupid but some people like it. I noticed Rich Eisen brings it up and forgot he is in the movie. Anyone in the NFL in this film says nice things about it. LOL As for the draft trading this is the NFL and during the draft all these NFL Teams act like Teenager's playing in a local Fantasy Football League making wild trades. NFL Teams covet First Rd Draft Picks. Trading your 6th pick for 3 2's is dumb and trading 3 first rd picks for the 6th pick is dumber. Both the Jags and Seattle GM would be fired. Look at all the heat the Falcon's front office is taking for signing Kirk Cousins to an over priced FA contract and taking Penix at #8 right now. These trades in the film were manipulated so as to create drama and in the end make Costner's character look brilliant. I doubt the XFL would make these kind of trades. I compare the dumb College Basketball film Blue Chips as comparison. I live in Indiana where Blue Chips was filmed. Nick Nolte basically is trying to play Bobby Knight. What's amusing is when Blue Chips came out in 1994 the local media was all about promoting the film. After it came out no one was willing to admit it was stupid.

@@TJIRISH44the acting was really was good but that’s it

right? like couldn't seattle just make a better deal with jacksonville directly?

​@tBagley43 Jacksonville had already traded the #6 pick so that point is irrelevant. Seattle didn't call because Jax didn't need a QB so they thought they would just get Callahan at #7 without needing to trade. I hate to defend this movie because it is kind of corny. But there is a reason he traded up to #1, why we was able to get #6 from Jax, and why Seattle took the trade to #6 to get their franchise QB.

Same. Since it came out, I watch it either the day before or day of the NFL draft.

It's incredibly amusing as a seahawks fan to see them have the no 1 overall pick in 2014, when in reality 2013 was the year they utterly skullfucked the Broncos in the Superbowl.

Cowboys doing anything resemblimg competence is really the most unrealistic part

I like to imagine the ring was one of the 90s Cowboys super bowls. Denis Leary is old enough to have been in his late 30 during the Emmet Smith era 😂

Very unrealistic but fun.

*bah dum tiss*

@@zachhoepfer521 I could’ve also said that the real draft day was when they wrote this script in 24 hours

You should’ve been in the writer’s room

You want a general understanding of scheme and how to break down defenses. A playbook is just white noise and learning every play... is kinda dumb for a team you likely won't play for.

@@jdramirez77 Not to mention the team leaves themselves extremely vulnerable to getting their playbook stolen

Writers didn’t make that up, teams have done similar things in the past. Search Jamarcus Russell of the Raiders

You guys don’t watch sports often? You didn’t play sports growing up? In general, it seems like everyone in this thread doesn’t understand sports, business or assessing and choosing the correct candidate for an enterprises needs?

I didn’t know that that’s interesting

I willing to be ok with it, because stupid trades have happened before. Dallas-Viking trade for Walker was unrealistic but actually did occur.

​@TNTITAN fair point about Walker, that was ridiculous by the Vikings. but modern era of the draft I can't think of a single example where a team gave up all those 1sts, plus a player, just to move up from 7 to 6. If it had been from 3 to 1 then yes that has happened before, but to jump a single space after pick 5, in exchange for that compensation has literally never once happened.

Crazy things do happen. Like the Saints and Ricky Williams deal

Isn’t that literally what the Panthers and Bears just did last year?

@@anthonystrangio panthers basically paid more than that. A future first+ 2 future seconds +dj Moore.

and the browns FO keeps saying "yOu GaVe Up 3 FiRsTs" no.. you gave up 2, you swapped one, and traded your next 2.

Honestly if it weren’t for that final trade there probably wouldn’t be a video about this movie on my channel

Even the Jaguars trade before that didn't make a lot of sense. Just this year the Texans got two second rounders for a pick in the 20s and we're supposed a buy that the 6th pick is worth just one more?

@@bigbearkat2010that trade was bad imo too. No team will give up 3 seconds for pick 6 although do suggest looking at the Julio Jones draft trade. Browns traded 6th overall pick for 27th overall pick, 2nd rounder that year 4ths this and next and a future 1st round pick. Same trade except for 27th being a late 1st and an extra 1st vs a 2nd. Keep in mind this was considered a lot at the time

@@MustacheDLuffy it was considered a lot at the time because it was. I personally have a hard believing any GM would willingly give up a top 10 pick without at least a 1st being in the equation.

@@bigbearkat2010I’m not saying the movie was realistic but the whole point was the Jaguars GM was a novice who the Browns believed was out of his depth so they believed they could force him to panic while he was on the clock and make a bad trade. Yeah it was far fetched and it wouldn’t happen in real life but in the movie they did the best they could to up the drama by showing the Jaguars GM panicking that drafting BC would be career destroying because he had missed something that everyone else knew. A movie about the Browns trading up to No.1 to pick the best QB then they draft him wouldn’t have made for much drama.

Ah… the Romeo Crennel era aka ERROR.

Which is even dumber honestly. How badly is this team mismanaged that they can't spare cap space for their generational draft pick that's going to make next to nothing salary wise for the next several seasons?

@@bigbearkat2010 yea…at the end of the day, it is just a movie lol.

Nice try, Mr. Straw Man It may be, ‘just a movie’, but said movie is someone’s job to accurately portray and/or create; and that person failed.. In almost any other job, if you fail to competently perform your duties; you’d get fired. Whereas, most movie directors and writers, just get to simply cut their losses, without significant repercussions; more often than not. So, holding crappy or inaccurate movies accountable, is the least we should do.

but couldn't they just make a better trade with jacksonville directly?

Lmao so Seattle, a team with the first overall pick, which most likely their pick, which means they're basically dogshit, have no cap space for a first overall pick? The GM should be fired before the movie takes place

It’s basically the draft’s own Christmas movie if that makes sense lmao

@@AndaiMB that's it exactly

1. That happened a DECADE after this dumpster fire of a film. 2. The Texans trade was at least logical for one team; you can’t say the same for ANY team in this trainwreck.

It is the internet after all. We all have an opinion on something

@@AndaiMB true, I didn’t mean hate in anyway btw lol I was just stating the fact that I always see movies that I enjoyed on RU-vid videos ranting about why they aren’t good

@@baconcurtain5089 don’t worry I didn’t interpret it as hate lmao

I started laughing when I heard that

Just wait till you learn about the 2022 NFL draft

Happens a lot still actually ever heard of Edge rushers? lol

@@slimjim4299gonna be one of the worst drafts ever ong

Yeah Sonny as a character is really confusing. In real life the GMs that pay 3 first rounders like this are ridiculed hard and at best are labeled as the biggest black marks of their careers if they're not seen as an outright joke but this movie wants us to believe he's playing 4D chess. Then again he wouldn't be a Costner protagonist without other characters talking about how awesome he is like he's in a Steven Seagal movie.

Costner redeemed himself because his counter parts were dumber. In the end the Browns owner is happy. But in reality he went back home and thought is THIS the kind of man I want being GM of my team? Costner traded up to the first pick to draft a Linebacker/pass rusher IMAO. Only reason teams trade up in the NFL is for a QB. Yet Costner character is made out to be brilliant at the end. LOL

You can’t pull a Scott Fitterer followed by a Ryan pace and expect to not get fired. Those 2 drafted Bryce young and Mitchell Trubisky and have both since been fired. He didn’t because as you’ve mentioned his GM peers panic even harder than he panics

@@MustacheDLuffy At least with Fitterer and Pace their trade ups were on the premise they'd be getting the much needed QB of the future so they got a few months or even a couple years before people felt comfortable laughing at them. Costner got a defensive player he didn't even need to trade up for in the first place, without Seattle blinking, he'd probably be evaluated for the psych ward.

@@bigbearkat2010 he gave up significant capital like Fitterer did and then pulls a Ryan pace by not letting anybody know who he was going to draft which Ryan pace did not letting anybody know he wanted Trubisky I don’t know how you double down on stupid moves and even keep your job after the season

Kirk Cousins is practically a Boy Scout, he isn’t one to cause a scene. Also, I don’t think Falcons management directly went to him and said what Sonny had said

@@AndaiMB They've guaranteed him 100 million before he's even had training camp with them, until this latest draft, I assumed Kirk would be the last guy they'd want to deliberately piss off.

I couldn’t even imagine how badly the retarded trade for 3 second round picks, pissed you off..
