I watch at the very least every single year. Put the old Blu Ray in last night about 10pm to watch it, getting ready for today. Regardless of it being somewhat unrealistic in terms of the moves that are made, I don’t believe it’s unrealistic in how things are done generally. Over exaggerated quite a bit in sure. I don’t think there’s as many surprises as in the movie as the real draft, at least not at pick 1. But they had to sell it and if you were talking about pick 3,4,5… I bet it’s very likely. It’s the whole Aaron Rodgers falling scenario. Sure the 3 second rounders for a top 10 pick is rediculous; but for the sake of the movie they had to do something. They fixed it by commenting about the “rookie GM” thing and made that kid all twitchy like Tweek from South Park. overall, love the movie. It’s a tradition to me at this point, like watching Christmas Story and Die Hard on Christmas Eve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 If I'm understanding correctly... **spoilers ahead for those who haven't seen** ...The GM in this movie desperately needs a quarterback, but instead mortgages his team's future to select an off-ball linebacker and a punt returner, because he finds out none of the top QB prospect's teammates attended his birthday party... Do I have that right? I understand watching it for the camp factor (and Jennifer Garner's dimples), but other than that.... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(That was the guy who celebrated with his wife and son when the pick wasn't the QB.) Bo Callahan was the "flavor of the month," much-hyped QB prospect. The GM was under pressure by the owner, so he initially thought he needed to make a splash. In truth, the script for this movie is far-fetched, but it's an enjoyable watch if you like the NFL draft and Kevin Costner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Honestly, that was a bad GM. He had tunnel vision about Mack, so went WAY out of his way to find some flaw w/ Callahan (teammates at a b-day party? Did he ask about Mack's birthday?) No objectivity, and very stubborn. I doubt that Browns team ended up doing anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanDrasticHill Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Love this movie, watching it now. Draft Day was originally planned to be set in Buffalo, but Ohio beat us out with tax incentives. Hence Cleveland. FWIW Russ Brandon impressed the film makers enough to appear in the film (he is the only real life executive to appear). Chadwick Boseman is excellent, a total scene stealer. I always thought a sequel would be great - Vontae Mack and Brian Drew locks for the HOF after winning multiple championships, Sonny rebuilding the dynasty. Sadly doesn't work without Chadwick Boseman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
