GRIDIRON OF DREAMS?

 
Published April 26, 2013|Updated April 26, 2013

This weekend's draft at Radio City Music Hall is being used as the backdrop for a new Kevin Costner movie called Draft Day. Costner plays the general manager of the Browns. "It's a film about the day of the draft," actor Josh Pence told nfl.com. "It's about all the chaos that surrounds the GM on the day of the draft and a struggling team trying to piece together what he's going to do, who he's going to take No. 1." The film is scheduled to be released next year.
