Draft Day Drinking Game + Cocktail

Sonny Weaver Jr. has twelve picks, twelve hours, and twelve ways to destroy the Cleveland Browns.

The Rules

  • Sip — Sonny gets a call from another GM and the negotiation begins with pleasantries that mean nothing
  • Sip — Coach Penn and Sonny disagree about what the Browns actually need in the draft
  • Sip — A prospect's off-field issue surfaces and the war room reacts with controlled panic
  • Sip — Sonny's mother drops by and makes the day significantly more complicated
  • Sip — Ali and Sonny exchange a look that isn't about football at all
  • Drink Twice — Sonny trades a pick away and immediately second-guesses himself in real time
  • Drink Twice — The clock on the draft board is ticking and Sonny still hasn't made the call
  • Drink Twice — Tom Michaels or the owner pushes Sonny toward a decision he isn't ready for
  • Shot — Bo Callahan's private character file is opened and everyone's face changes
  • Shot — Sonny pulls off a last-minute trade that no one in the room saw coming
  • Chug — The Browns make their pick and the war room erupts or falls silent depending on who's watching
