About the Book

It's draft time in the National Football League. For most high-ranking team executives, this means endless days of high-stakes negotiations. But for Baltimore Ravens, General Manager Jon Sabino - Who has two consecutive Super Bowl victories under his belt - hiring new talent is the last thing on his mind...until his star quarterback gets into a car accident that leaves him unable to play. With his eyes on an unprecedented third Lombardi Trophy, Sabino sees only one option: acquiring guaranteed first pick Christian McKinley, the quarterback phenom from Michigan. But at what price?The San Diego Chargers, who presently hold that pick, are not interested in McKinley - so they'll offer it to the highest bidder. Now Sabino must jump into a cut-throat competition in which old friends become mortal enemies, and no one - not even your allies - can be trusted. The "McKinley Sweepstakes" could very well be the make-or-break moment of Sabino's career, and the fork in the road that leads him and his team either into the history books - or to the tepid hell of mediocrity...

Review :
""The Draft "provides intriguing insight into a process that can be as competitive as those that occur on the gridiron itself."--Marv Levy, Hall of Fame head coach and general manager of the Buffalo Bills
"Must reading for any football fan."--Bill Polian, president of the [Super Bowl Champion] Indianapolis Colts ""The Draft" is a fascinating novel about what can go on behind the scenes in an NFL front office--the intrigue and maneuvering. It is terrific reading for the fan who wonders how these trades and deals are made." --Ernie Accorsi, general manager of the New York Giants
"A smartly crafted and highly engrossing novel about deals, decisions, and desperation in the world of pro football. The characters are marvelously drawn, and the writing is razor's-edge sharp. If you are a fan of this game, then "The Draft" is one book you absolutely must read."
--Peter Golenbock, author of "Landry's Boys"
"There couldn't be a better time for a book like Wil Mara's "The Draft." It gives fans a glimpse into parts of the NFL that they wouldn't see otherwise. I was very impressed by Wil's attention to detail, and by the great storyline he created. As a former player, I can honestly say he really nailed it. The emotion, the excitement, the suspense--everything is right here. I was amazed."
--Jon Harris, defensive end and first-round draft pick of the Philadelphia Eagles, 1997 NFL draft
