Kevin Costner returns to the world of sports movies in "Draft Day." Like 2011's "Moneyball," this film follows the general manager of a professional sports franchise as he wheels and deals his way to a more competitive roster. While not as good as that film, "Draft Day" does a solid job of giving us a peek behind the curtain of an NFL front office. The strategy and tactics Costner's character uses to draft the players and trade the picks he wants are really fascinating. The personal drama of his character is not nearly as interesting. Jennifer Garner is shoe-horned into the film as a love interest and a subplot involving his mother and dead father is, at times, bizarre. Even with those underwhelming distractions, this is a worth-while behind-the-scenes look into NFL draft day madness.
