"I Want My Picks Back" (Full Scene) | Draft Day

[@rightstuff24]

The fact that this is the Browns makes this realisitic

[@sit2go]

Unrealistic you mean. Browns front office has no clue what they are doing. Also the Seahawks would never do this. They actually won a superbowl in this century.

My favorite thing is that “Draft Day” is all about the Browns heroically overcoming the pressure to draft a massively hyped quarterback who has serious character concerns, and then only weeks after this movie came out the actual real-life Browns literally drafted that player in Johnny Manziel Then after that completely failed and they finally got a QB people could respect, they said "hmm nah screw this guy" and replaced him with sexual predator Deshaun Watson and gave the predator the most massive contract in NFL history. And Watson played horribly on the Browns. Kevin Costner must be proud!

[@johnharlan-r9p]

winston will save us

[@Elthenar]

Even more accurate is that when they traded for Watson, they already had a good QB who won a playoff game for them, trying to come back from injury that limited him the previous year. I don't know for sure how good Baker would have been but I do know the Browns would be a far better team with Baker and all the picks and cap space they gave up for Watson.
