Draft Day (2014)
For a couple of days each spring, the fortunes of NFL franchises hang in the balance as front offices across the league select new players for their teams. Future success — or mediocrity — depends on the decisions made in the heat of the moment and under the brightest of ESPN spotlights. This movie, starring Kevin Costner as a general manager of a losing Cleveland Browns team, portrays the roller coaster of politics, drama, and emotions of NFL Draft Day. Football junkies will love the constant stream of cameos from talking heads and former players, and long-suffering Browns fans will vouch for the film's authenticity ... after all, their team really is this dysfunctional.
