Draft Day Page #9

Geno Smith drops

out of the first round,

and there are all kinds of

rumors goin' on right now,

"Why is this kid dropping and..."

Everybody's freaking out, Sonny.

St. Louis went with Anderson.

Miami took Palmer.

Who's picking fourth?

Arizona.

Are they gonna take Callahan?

They should, but

everybody's off their game.

Rams and the Dolphins, both

went with their expected picks,

even though Bo was still available.

Everybody's panickin' 'cause

Callahan's still there.

Jesus, what if he drops to seventh?

Seahawks have seventh.

What if they ended

up with Callahan?

Well, then Tom Michaels

is the GM of the decade.

I'm goin' to the can, to throw up.

Okay. Denver has five.

Jacksonville has six.

Yeah, but Denver's not

gonna take Callahan.

They got Herrod, he's an All-Pro.

So if Arizona balks, then

Jacksonville's all over him.

Unless they balk, too.

And our friend Tom Michaels

grabs him at seven. Sh*t!

They have that kid GM down in

Jacksonville. What is his name?

Jeff Carson.

Rookie.

Right, Jeff Carson.

Hey, buddy.

Holy sh*t, man. What do you

know? What do you know?

About what?

About this! About this thing!

What's wrong with Callahan?

Nothing. We like Vontae better.

The Rams took my pick.

Everything's out of whack.

Well, you still have time.

Arizona is picking right now.

You're right. Hold on.

With the fourth pick

of the 2014 NFL Draft,

the Arizona Cardinals select

Robert Starks, cornerback,

Georgia Tech.

Wow. Arizona went corner.

Sh*t. Starks was my backup.

That's a tough break, but,

hey, Callahan's still in play.

Who's pickin' fifth?

The Broncos, and they're

not taking Callahan.

They got Matt Herrod.

They don't need Callahan.

Yeah, I think you're right.

I think they're gonna go with

that big kid outta Oregon.

Dearborne. Left tackle.

Well, congratulations, Jeff.

Looks like you got

yourself Bo Callahan

to quarterback the

Jacksonville Jaguars.

You gotta be straight with me.

About what?

What's wrong with Callahan?

Why is everyone passin' on him?

Why did you pass on him?

I told you. We like Vontae better.

Damn it, Sonny, I'm about to

be on the clock here. Please.

What's wrong with Callahan?

Can I be frank with you?

Yes.

I think he's a bust.

What?

How? Why?

I don't know. Gut feeling.

To be honest, Jeff, it's a

character thing for me.

But, look, I have other needs.

So, if you wanna make

a trade for six,

I can make that happen right now.

You want six? Who are you takin'?

I can't tell you that, Jeff.

The question is, do you

want to make a trade?

Because if you're not

sold on Callahan,

you can still come out of here

with a handful of draft picks,

you look like a seasoned pro,

and everybody wonders what

you're up to next year.

I don't know. I don't know, Sonny.

Look, Jeff, every year someone comes

out of this looking like a donkey.

- Can you hear me?

- Yeah.

Good. Because tomorrow

I got a feeling

it could be you if you

don't make this deal.

Look, everyone else has a reason

to pass on Bo Callahan. You don't.

Give me six.

Give me six and I'll give you

our second-round pick this year

and our second-rounder next year.

Do what?

Oh! That sounds awesome,

Sonny. What am I, a jerk?

I'm just spit-balling here, Jeff.

Two number twos for the

sixth overall? I'm not an idiot.

I'd give you ones, but

I already dealt 'em.

Well, you're gonna have

to do better than that.

Jesus, the clock.

I know. Denver hasn't picked yet,

but they will any

second, all right?

Sh*t, Sonny, I need more. Tell me.

What is the very best

that you can do?

Final offer.

Take our number two pick this year,

next year, and the

next year after that.

That's three years of number two picks.

Four. I want your next

four number twos.

Nah, Jeff, I'm not gonna do that.

Stay with me on planet

Earth here, all right?

You know what I just

offered you is fair.

So, three years of second-rounders?

That's right. For

your pick right now.

And you and your guys can regroup,

figure yourselves out and relax.

This is a good deal, Jeff.

This is a good deal for both of us.

Deal.

Good, Jeff. You did good.

Call it in. Call it in.

Hey, this is Marx.

We got something, Ken.

- Cleveland's in this.

- And Jacksonville.

Okay, give it to me.

Okay, somebody get me Tom

Michaels on the phone.

Tell me you didn't

just do that, Sonny.

Michaels. Tom Michaels.

Are we on the clock?

Tell me you didn't just do that.

We just got the number six pick.

And, no, we are not on the clock.

Denver's on the clock.

Okay, so we got six!

Who are we picking at six?

Rick, can you get Marvin

on the phone now?

Let me get this straight.

In the span of one day, you

have managed to burn through

three years' worth of number one and

number two picks, is that correct?

Yeah.

- I quit, Sonny.

- Don't quit.

I can't coach a team that

doesn't have a future, Sonny.

That's the way it works.

I got Tom Michaels on the line!

Sonny, are we trading six?

Will everyone please just shut up?

People, please,

can I have a moment of goddamn silence

while I do my job here, okay?

Look. Don't quit, all right?

Just let me do my job here.

Just let me do this. Don't quit now.

If, by the end of the night, you

still wanna quit, then quit.

Just see what I do from here.

Your show, Sonny.

Tom Michaels is holding.

You son of a b*tch!

Anthony, I need five

minutes, all right?

Five minutes, and

then you can fire me.

Sonny, you are a dead man.

Mr. Molina. Mr. Molina.

Look at me. Look at me.

Just give him a minute.

He knows what he's doing.

Tom, it's Sonny.

Jesus, Mary and Whatnot. Do I

owe you a thank you, Weaver?

Jacksonville's on the clock

and I'm one more crazy

sh*t-show from insanity.

Can you imagine, scoring three

first-round picks and Bo Callahan?

Lord God, let that infant

John Carson screw this up.

It's Jeff Carson, Tom, and

he doesn't have the pick.

I do.

What?

I just made a trade with Jacksonville.

I'm on the clock. It's me.

Bullshit!

The Jacksonville Jaguars

have made a trade.

The Cleveland Browns now have the

sixth pick and are on the clock.

Sonny, what'd you give 'em?

No time for that. I'm on the clock.

I'm gonna pick Bo, Tom.

Unless you want him more.

And if so, let's make a deal.

We still have Bo Callahan?

What the hell's goin' on, Sonny?

Everyone thinks

there's something wrong

with the kid, but you

don't, all right?

You've done your due diligence.

You're about to pull off

the move of the century.

But you need my pick to do it.

So make me an offer.

You've gone rogue.

You've gone renegade.

Yeah, that's right.

That's exactly right.

I could have gotten

Vontae at seven,

but instead I trade up with you

just so I could get him at one.

Jesus Christ. You were

right about me, Tom.

I am a crazy man. So, come

on, take advantage of it.

What are you waitin' for?

Make me a deal, Tom, at six,

and you get your boy wonder.

What do you want?

I want my number ones

back. All of 'em.
