Draft Day (I) (2014)

Chi McBride: Walt Gordon

Quotes 

• Tom Michaels : I'm really nervous about trading away the top pick. Callahan could be huge.

  Walt Gordon : That's true. But it might be worth it if someone's willing to give us their weight in gold to get him. What'd the Rams get when they traded away number two overall to the Redskins a few years back?

  Tom Michaels : Three number one picks and a number two.

  Walt Gordon : Well, shit, that'd work for me.

  Tom Michaels : Nobody's offering us that, Walt. Look... do you want the entire city of Seattle calling for our heads because we didn't pick Bo Callahan?

  Walt Gordon : Our fans know a good deal when they see one, Tom. Which is why we're not even gonna think about doing this unless we can find someone...

  Tom Michaels : Stupid enough to give us more than he should.

  Walt Gordon : Exactly. So, who's the most desperate guy you know?

• Walt Gordon : Have we tried everyone?

  Tom Michaels : Everyone worth asking. So far, no one's willing to overpay. Shit. I really thought I could get Sonny Weaver to bite. I mean, he just lost his old man, and...

  [his phone rings; smirking, he shows Walt the caller ID] 

  Walt Gordon : Fleece him.

• Sonny Weaver Jr. : I have the golden ticket now, Tom, and if I give it to you, and if I give it to you, you get to save Seahawk football in Seattle.

  Tom Michaels : Um... how 'bout I give you number two picks?

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : No. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. No, I want my picks back. All of 'em. I want all three years of this team's future back.

  Tom Michaels : That's not fair!

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : Well, you wanna cry about it, Tom, or you wanna make a little magic before the clock runs out on both of us?

  Walt Gordon : $7 million cheaper solves our salary cap problem. We're still gonna give the fans what they want.
