I love how offended Tom is by the draft boards
“They’re tiny!” lol
How much bigger do the boards have to be?
@@garse70 Huge, think about it. There are possibly thousands of players they scouted for each round/position. If a team wants a.. say a RB, they would have their list of options but also planning out for which rounds as well. They would maybe have a few for each round or alternate plans and etc. They legit would have walls of players' names.
If you search for, “get an inside look at the NFL draft war rooms”, there’s a dozen+ photos of various teams’ war rooms w/boards in the background, circa 2014. Covers half the wall typically. Different boards w/different info on them.
Aside: I wonder how long that info is sensitive? I’d rather my competition didn’t know what we felt was critical last couple years.
Fantasy draft boards are bigger LOL
My favorite thing is that “Draft Day” is all about the Browns overcoming the pressure to draft a massively hyped quarterback who has serious character concerns, and then only weeks after this movie came out the real life Browns literally drafted that player in Johnny Manziel
In the movie, they traded up for the smart but unpopular pick in Mack ahead of the popular quarterback with character red flags, and it paid off. In real life, they traded up for the popular quarterback with character red flags instead of perhaps staying at #4 and making the smart but perhaps unpopular pick…also in Mack.
And then Mike Mayock said, “This is just like the movie Draft Day”. It was a perfect Browns-ing.
My favorite part of that whole thing is that they had that pricey pricey study to determine who the best quarterback was in that first round range and their report came back with Teddy Bridgewater, and they just totally ignored it
The Browns saw how the movie bombed at the box office and said "We're not making that mistake! Let's draft a cowboy! Wooooo!"
@@AdamKlownzinger even if we would have taken him, it doesn’t really change the trajectory of our history…. It’s not like they passed on mahomes for Manziel
It's funny how it was the jags and brown making the dumb choices like in real life 😂
This is probably the best video the social media team has put out
Facts!! The way that they got Telesco to do a play by play of what really goes on is priceless content. BOLT UP!!
It’s all about teamwork. ⚡️⚡️⚡️BOLTZ⚡️⚡️⚡️
I agree! I can’t get enough of this stuff!
This didn't age well
lol they even liked your comment because they knew that were about to drop something amazing
I swear… Draft Day is the story of the second worst GM in the league getting lucky and saving his career by fleecing the actual worst GM in the league.
Not to mention the subplot of how he's having a baby with his co-worker who's 30 years his junior.
You’re ignoring the Jacksonville GM who didn’t know who the hell he was taking at pick 6, and then traded it away for some 2nd round picks
@@mckerob It’s truly a three way race to the bottom.
Where does my old gm Ryan Pace rank? The one who traded the 3rd pick for the 2nd pick to pick Mitch Trubisky
@@mckerob That's the worst GM in the league. The Seahawks guy does... okay, basically trading Putney to save salary on Callahan.
Never have I seen Tom open up like this in all his years as the Chargers GM. Bravo to the person that I came up with this! This is GOLD!!
Tom's appearances on Pat McAfee show are great. He'll be on for an interview during the draft for Pats show tomorrow
Watch all the times he goes on the Pat McAfee show, he’s really candid on the show. Not like when in a press conferenxe
Yes he definitely feels a lot more confident
Still suck
Lol this guy is mr personality.
We need more casual talks with Tom! I could listen to him muse about picks, prospects, and strategy all day.
"The salary cap part of it really works itself out" spoken like a true GM
Chargers heading into this offseason over the cap by something like $54million.

Eagles fan here. I was expecting to see this on Vanity Fair. Imagine my pleasant surprise when I saw this was from the Chargers. Well done, Chargers social media team, well done (tips hat)
same!
The “$100 test” in this movie was inspired by the Oakland Raiders testing Jamarcus Russel’s dedication to an NFL career by giving him blank video tapes and telling him to study the film at home. Jamarcus returned them some time later and said he had studied the film.
And they still took him? What was the point?
This happened after they drafted him
@@jefecito5108that was after they drafted him an nfl team would not give a yet to be drafted player film and tell them to study it
@@Notjaycee6 or the team's playbook like they do in this movie
THIS CONTENT IS AMAZING. Never would have thought an NFL team would get their GM to react and share like this 🔥🔥
Social media team is killin it! Good shit y’all
So cool to see insights like this into how players are scouted, how teams negotiate trades, stuff like that is the most interesting part of football!
7:00 Tom's reaction to the birthday party just made my day 🤣
I knew it!! That thing has been memed to death but it's actually legit!
I guess it's like that bit in Moneyball where the scouts think a player sucks because his girlfriend's ugly. A lot of baseball fans I've known not only believe that to be real thing but think the scouts had a real point.
Holy crap they pulled one out of gq’s breakdown series! I love it!
9:24 this is cool. Going through the same thing with a college hockey team. Started at the bottom of the ladder taking the jobs no one wanted to do, proving my worth to the team. Been with the team for 3 years now. I was recently promoted to Hockey Operations Manager and part of the scout team.
Well done. I love the NFL but the MLB and NHL are my favorite of the major sports. Really any baseball and hockey though I enjoy.
Like now with the playoffs and IHF going on at the same time as baseball it’s the best time of year. Unfortunately my Ducks are too relevant these days but for you it must be just awesome to be working your way through the sport.
Very cool. 🤙🏻
@@OCRay1 Thank you.
When you first walk into the rink, they have photos of the coaches and management, I can't help but smile ear to ear when I look at my photo. I never thought this would be my life growing up, but I can't think of anything else I would rather be doing.
Which team?
OMG this was so good to watch a day before draft day!!! The Chargers Social Media team knocks it out of the park again!!!
This getting suggested to me today is fantastic
What an amazing job the social media Team does! Great content
What a cool guy
In telesco we trust!
You mean in Ballard we trust ;)
Wow! I stumbled on this and it was awesome. Never knew the Chargers GM before, but just hearing him speak about his experience as a GM as well as relating that to the movie was very informative. Kudos the the Los Angeles Chargers for putting this out there. I would love to see more casual discussions with Tom on other football related things. Maybe he could take us into the draft day room at the Chargers after the draft or something and talk about what happens.
Bravo to this chargers media teams, y'all are killing it with great content. Definitely gaining a good fanbase just based on content other than the product on the field.
Tom the goat for this 🐐⚡️
Honestly, this is one the best interviews I have ever seen. Real conversation
This is why you won the webby. Chargers media is awesome 😂
This video was REALLY top quality content. Great job to all you folks in the social media team!
I'm a chiefs fan and watched this. Pretty good honestly. I really can't wait to see every team in the AFC West this year play each other.
After getting drafted JaMarcus Russell was given a blank DVD, was told there was a bunch of plays on there they wanted him to watch.
Next day they asked which plays he liked the most, he said all of them.
Probably would've traded Russell then and there of that was me, although hindsights always 20/20
@@jjmisiewicz7342 contracts weren't set by pick back then. In fact, Russell is the main reason for the rule change. He negotiated a giant contract that they couldn't just get out of, but they cut ties the moment they could afford to. As far as trading him, who on earth would have taken him? It's unlikely we'll ever see a bigger bust than Russell.
I thought they did this in his second or third year. He held out negotiating his contract for so long he missed the entire training camp and even the first couple weeks of the season so I'm pretty sure this DVD test would've broken some kind of player's union rule if he's not actually signed yet.
The reason they were doing the DVD test was because he wasn't showing nearly the amount of improvement he should've been at that stage and they had a feeling based on his previous behavior that he wasn't studying game film.
I like how most of the scenes Tom’s like, “that wouldn’t happen”, but when the security guy reports on lack of teammates at Bo’s birthday party he’s, “That’s good info right there.”
Aside - bought my draft beer. May have to “test” one. Can’t be too careful. :)
It could mean that the team hates him. This could be nothing...or the biggest red flag you might find.
@@AT-il2ej it would be a massive red flag. If his teammates don't like him enough just to show up at his birthday party, no way will he be capable of leading grown men in the NFL.
This was so good and a great idea to have Tom Do this. I always thought parts of draft day was cheesy but it is Hollywood not a documentary.
I’ve seen this movie so many times, and I’ve never thought about if the boards were accurate. Attention to detail from the NFL GMs and successful coaches/players are insane. Very cool video!
I like seeing interviews with people you don't normally see interviews with, and realizing they have a personality. I remember as a teen watching Tom Brokaw on Letterman and being amazed that somebody you think of as such a serious person actually has a sense of humor. Same with Brian Williams and Fallon. And Ichiro telling the sock joke with Costas. All good stuff. We lose sight of the fact that these are just people, but people who happen to have a cool job.
As a fan of sports movies, and Football, I love that we got some commentary from a GM.
Love this team and love our social media team! Keep up the awesome work guys :)
I'm not a big NFL fan but I loved this movie and I love hearing an actual GM talk about it and explain the different things that go into it.
It's a good movie but hard to watch as a big NFL fan. So much of it is not accurate like Tom said.
I know they need to change things up for dramatic affect but it's obvious no one involved with this movie knows the least bit about how the draft works.
They would never start looking into a player's background the day of the draft. Even if they had the 15th pick and the player was expected to go #1, they would still have notes on the guy going back at least a year just in case he slips past the first 14 picks and he's still available.
Or they may have done the initial work just to determine if they're even willing to draft a guy..
Teams mark guys as undraftable all the time. Could be medical reason, could be attitude issue or someone who just doesn't fit the style of play for that team.
@@cJames404 as a mom of an NFL coach, loved this movie. Made for folks like me, who are fans but not experts. I lived in Cleveland for 2 years as a teen, graduated from high school there, so always rooted for the Browns, lol. Never thought as that young girl I would be connected to football at all, let alone the NFL= we never know😊.!!
Do more of these. This was great. The pancake line is so great for the movie and how they set it up but I can’t imagine that would ever work to convince any man. Tom, thanks for the GM insights. So cool.
Yeah I enjoyed this. I feel like since Brandon Staley was hired Tom’s felt more comfortable being more social and open to these kind of videos more.
Staley's outgoing personality must be rubbing off on Tom - GM's are hired because they are a "people person" - that's part of the job requirement for a coach. Nice to see him reminiscing about his first time in a draft room, moving magnets around because it illustrates a principle. If we are faithful in the small things, often times bigger opportunities come later.
This is probably my favorite video of all time now. Thank you
Best Media team!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️🏆🏆🏆
Absolutely love this episode. I would love to see more episodes with other GMs of all sports.
This is absolute gold. Really, really fascinating. Well done, Tom!
Quality content I love that movie getting toms reaction was priceless lol
This is amazing. More of this and more of Tom
i've seen a bunch of these over at GQ this was the best one so far! Thanks for the great content.
I love how TT is disgusted by the draft boards 😂😂
Hi
This is a fantastic vid! Please more like this.
Thank you so much for this!!
Watching this as a raiders fan to make sure he knows what he’s doing this year 🤣🤣
This video definitely didn't disappoint
im a raiders fan but this was pretty dope to watch, good insight to know more about scouting and the behind the scenes of the draft
This was awesome!!!! More videos like this!!!
Congrats Chargers Social Media! Great concept and great video. Telesco is a natural.
this was amazing need more content like this
This video was full of heart from start to finish
Thanks for this. This was awesome.
I LOVE that he mentioned Herbert in that moment!!
Hi
Broncos fan here!
Thanks for doing this it was very cool to see a GM’s perspective
AWESOME video idea. Loved it!
Don't watch much sports anymore but really enjoyed this video! Thank you
This is so great!
Thank you Tom! Love that film! 🧸👑🎥🎩
Lions fan here, this is awesome. Kudos to the LAC socials team for this.
I watched the Lions 2023 draft on that INSIDE THE DEN show they self-produce. On the draft ep, you see the GM in the draft room, alongside the coach AND the team owner, checking in with the coach on his pics for each round... letting the owner know what each player will bring to the table. VERY different from what you see in DRAFT DAY. 😄
I love all the times he's like "Wait, go back" because he found some tiny detail that 99% of us would have never noticed lol.
RN4L welcome Tom can’t wait to see what you can do for our beloved nation
This is such an insanely great video
This was awesome
This was amazing.
This was really entertaining. GMs are the best when they are willing to speak.
I just watched draft day movie 🍿 last night. Great timing!!
As much as we gripe about Tom from time to time (myself included) he seems like a very organized and methodic GM. Things don't always play out the way we want it but it feels like there's always valid reasoning to what he does.
Man trust me y'all got it so good with Tom. I'd kill to have him be the one drafting for the Patriots instead of Bill and a bunch of yes men. Our last draft we finally had a legit GM for the 1st time, and we end up with Mac Jones at 15 which looks good so far, Barmore at 38 who should have went in the 1st round and is already one of the best DTs in the league. Rhamondre Stevenson who's got all the talent to be a legit star 3 down back, and a very versatile speedy LB in McGrone who we stole cuz of injury issues. Then this year it was back to business as usual after Ziegler left for the Raiders and had a very successful 1st year as a GM, and the Pats just reached on literally every single pick in the draft and took a QB in the 4th and 2 RBs when we already have a great RB room, and I won't even get started on Cole Strange lol. Shits depressing
@@plazik7481 yeah pats and packers in the same boat
This is so good guys
This is amazing idk how I missed it till now.
BRAVO!!! This is TOP TIER CONTENT HERE!!! 10/10!!!
This is AWESOME!
Wow this is absolutely amazing this better blow up
This was great ⚡⚡⚡
You know it’s a good video when you got a Broncos fan watching and being entertained by a video from the Chargers.
I love Tom Telesco
Don't know why it got recommended to me... but gladly it did. This was really cool to see, enjoyed his view and informations. Thanks for creating this video and hopefully there will be more :)
When this movie came out the thing that I thought made it a little unbelievable was the moves the other GM's ended up making. Like I understand it was just a drama filled story line to tell the story of a GM that negotiated so well that he won the draft undisputed but other gm's would never change their minds the amount of times they did in this movie to set up the kind of thing that ultimately ended up happening. GM's in real life almost never change their minds on draft day, it's incredibly difficult and hard to get them to change their original plan and goal. They all prepare as hard as they can and have a very solid understanding of who and what they want in the draft. To see them changing their minds about a bunch of different players on draft day is just ridiculous honestly.
I love this ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Every team needs to make a video like this. Big applause to Chargers video production team!
I would of love to see his reaction on that ridiculous Jaguars trade.
I was waiting for that, on all 3 trades. The value was unrealistic for all 3 these days.
THIS IS GOLD!
Rams fan here. Great video. You have a good GM there who picked Brandon Staley, Justin Herbert and managed to somehow get Khalil Mack paired with Joey Bosa.
Good luck next year, except for the LA v LA game.
Great content. 👍
This video is AWESOME
Im diehard Cowboys fan but I'm liking the Chargers 😂. The media team is insane I love it
I love Draft Day-such an underrated sports movie…
This was pretty sweet. I don't even watch football (I'm a hockey guy and somewhat a baseball guy). But I enjoy this type of thing with the folks up higher like GMs
Who else here after telesco got fired. ITS THE HARBAUGH ERA BABY
Really fun video, I remember when I watched this even I was kinda annoyed by the draft boards being small
This is absolutely fascinating.
I remember seeing the trailer for this and being so excited then watching the actual movie and being so disappointed. Anyone who is even a casual football fan knows that scouts are NEVER unprepared, especially if they're gonna make a trade, even more so if the franchise is considering a trade up to #1.
You have to remember it’s a movie, it’s all for the effect of Drama.
@@jessedeleon4123 Haha! EVERY time I complain about something in a movie not being realistic, that is what I get. I go, "Come ON! They could/would NEVER do that!!" My wife then hits me with, "It's a movie." Or I go, "WHY did they do THAT?!" She says, "It's in the script." Agghhh!!
@@Enigma71559 oh I know trust me I know, my wife says the same thing to me when we watched it the first few times,bro I still play nfl gm the game to this day haha
It's Hollywood. If you want real life, just watch the draft.
Tom seems like an awesome dude.
Great video
That was a great video
For someone who’s been in draft rooms since ‘94, Tom seems pretty young still.
Between this and the schedule release, Chargers content team crushing.
12:12 "He's got QB hair" Reminds me of the Money Ball Scene where the scouts are all talking. Sums up why QB is CONSISTINTLY the biggest bust position. "Scouting" like that. I know its just a statement but there are scouts who believe that kind of stuff. Blane Gabbert also had "QB Hair"
Haha if I was a scout, my “hair” would be someone’s name. If they don’t have that “QB name” then it would be a no go for me lol. Mitch Trubisky, I mean let’s get real, you draft a QB with a name like Mitch Trubisky you deserve what you get..
