LA Chargers GM breaks down scenes from Draft Day movie

[YoloinOhio]

This is pretty funny! Plus Telesco is a Buffalo native

Ha ha. I really enjoyed that (a sign of draft addiction - another sign is I've watched that terrible movie twice). Telesco is the dude.

He watched the movie like I watch the medical dramas my wife watches, looking at things in the background and saying "oh, that would never happen in real life."

Yeah it really broke the immersion for me when Telesco used defibrillators on someone whose heart was already stopped.  Everyone knows defibs are for shocking an irregular heartbeat back into rhythm, not restart a stopped one.

Can't wait for the sequel where Callahan becomes a HOFer while Mack and Jennings are massive busts since it's the Browns.

 

Why didn't they have the guy who directed Moneyball do this movie?

Never watched it but definitely pure fiction if the Browns had a good draft. 
 

Definitely would have watched it if they had made Buffalo the main character team though which under Brandon would have been just as much pure fiction.

I thought them drafting a RB in the first round was the most egregious plot line.

Originally Buffalo was supposed to be the main character team. I believe they opted against it because it would have made us look foolish based on the storyline. I don’t remember exactly. But it was talked about when the movie came out.

I'd really like someone to do another NFL Draft movie and do it more accurately to the reality this time. Since when is 2 1st's and a 3rd to acquire the #1 Pick in the Draft during a year that has a Franchise QB in the pool something you balk at?

Brandon as an actual NFL GM was always pure fiction.

Well, the Ralph did have a small part in the movie so that might be why. Costner contacted Russ Brandon about a trade. It was about 30 seconds of Bills game in that movie. Brandon looked like a tool.

Do Buffalo schools all teach that “unadvisable” is a word?

I believe NY didn't offer them the tax incentives that Ohio did, so they changed the team.

They left off the most ridiculous part where Jax traded the number 6 overall for 2 2nd rounders.

Recent movies being shot in Buffalo seem to suggest this is incorrect. There’s been more shot in Buffalo in previous years tho point to Buffalo actually spending some tax incentives to do it. I just think it looked bad for us and that’s why they nixxed it. Just my opinion.
