Draft Day (I) (2014)

Pat Healy: Jeff Carson

Quotes 

• Jeff Carson : Holy shit, man. What do you know? What do you know?

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : About what?

  Jeff Carson : About this! About this thing! What-What's wrong with Callahan?

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : Nothing. We like Vontae better.

  Jeff Carson : The Rams took my pick. Everything's out of whack.

• Sonny Weaver Jr. : Wow. Arizona went corner.

  Jeff Carson : Shit. Starks was my backup.

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : That's a tough break, but, hey, Callahan's still in play. Who's picking fifth?

  Jeff Carson : The Broncos, and they're not taking Callahan. They got Matt Herrod. They don't need Callahan.

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : Yeah, I think you're right. I think they're gonna go with that big kid out of Oregon. Dearborne. Left tackle. Well, congratulations, Jeff. You, uh... looks like you got yourself Bo Callahan to quarterback the Jacksonville Jaguars.

  Jeff Carson : You gotta be straight with me.

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : About what?

  Jeff Carson : What's wrong with Callahan? Why is everyone passing on him? Why-why did you pass on him?

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : I told you, we like Vontae better.

• Sonny Weaver Jr. : Look, everyone else... 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.

  Coach Penn : Do what?

  Jeff Carson : [his war room murmurs]  Oh! That sounds awesome, Sonny. What am I, a jerk?

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : I'm just spitballing here, Jeff.

  Jeff Carson : Two number twos for the sixth overall? I'm not an idiot.

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : I'd give you ones, but I already dealt 'em.

  Jeff Carson : Well, you're gonna have to do better than that. Jesus, the clock.

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : I know. Denver hasn't picked yet, but they will any second, all right?

• Jeff Carson : You want six? Who are you takin'?

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : [chuckling]  Can't... I can't tell you that, Jeff. The question is do you wanna make a trade? Because if you're not... 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.

  Jeff Carson : I don't know. I don't know, Sonny.

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : Look, Jeff, every year, someone comes out of this looking like a donkey. Can you hear me?

  Jeff Carson : Yeah.

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : Good. Because tomorrow, I got a feeling it could be you if you don't make this deal.

• Jeff Carson : What's wrong with Callahan?

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : Can I be frank with you?

  Jeff Carson : Yes.

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : I think he's a bust.

  Jeff Carson : What? How? Why?

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : 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.

• Jeff Carson : Shit, Sonny, I need more. Tell me. What is the very best that you can do?

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : [thinking]  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.

  Jeff Carson : [his scouts nod their approval]  Four. I want your next four number twos.

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : 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.

  Jeff Carson : So, three years of second-rounders?

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : 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.

  Jeff Carson : Deal.

  Sonny Weaver Jr. : Good, Jeff. You did good.
