With 13 hours until the beginning of the NFL draft, Sonny Weaver Jr., the GM of the Cleveland Browns. is informed by the team’s owner that if he doesn’t make a splash and generate ticket sales, he’s going to be fired.
That prompts the GM to take a trade offer from another team that gives him the first pick in the draft, in exchange for three future first-round picks.
The move outrages the Browns’ head coach, and forces all of the team’s scouts to dig up what they can find about the pick everyone, including the owner, expects them to make — a highly touted QB from Wisconsin.
Meanwhile, Weaver is drawn to a talented linebacker who has family issues to deal with and is known for having a hot temper.
