Draft participants are starting to file in and the air is thick with socially distanced tension. All eyes are turned toward Megan Ryan, who has promised a list unlike any other. Will it be great ... or like when the Cleveland Cavaliers took Anthony Bennett with the first pick in the 2013 NBA draft.

With the No. 1 overall pick in the Star Tribune Sports Movie Draft, theothermegryans select, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS (2004) out of Odessa, Texas. Listen, if you know anything about me, you'd know this movie holds a special place in my heart. I know there's more inspirational, uplifting sports movies to choose, but let me tell you, the nostalgia and general tragedy/purity of this film hit different in our current climate. I mean, Boobie Miles crying in the car to his uncle? When they lost the championship at the 1-yard line??? THE WHOLE LAST SCENE WITH *THAT* EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY SONG?! I'll miss the heat. I'll miss the lights. Everyone else sit down, this is the most deserving No. 1 pick since Joe Burrow in 2020 ( hopefully :/ )

With the third pick in the 2020 Star Tribune Coronavirus draft, I select...Hoosiers.So many choices, but this is the pick because it’s the one sports movie I always stop and watch for the millionth time whenever I come upon it on TV. Dennis Hopper is great and I love everything Gene Hackman ever did, although I learned in doing my scouting he was a jerk on most sets he worked, including this one. -
