Tagline: Breaking down the most influential NFL Draft of all-time.
Plot: In the spring of 1983, the NFL may have been at its weakest point. The previous season had been marred by a players strike, the upstart USFL was poaching star players and Al Davis was successfully suing the league. But the momentum began to change on April 26, 1983 — the day of the NFL Draft — when a new generation of superstars was poised to enter the league.
What the critics said: “[It's] at its best when it explores the myriad of alternate histories that could have played out if even one team had made a different choice” (The AV Club)
