When Vontae Mack calls Sonny Weaver Jr. in his car in the beginning of the movie, his number shows up on Sonny's phone. When Sonny goes to hang up on Vontae, the number on Sonny's phone screen says "PRIVATE NUMBER".

The font of the 10 yard markers of the Wisconsin at Ohio State game changes between shots.

The first time Vonte Mack sacks Bo Callahan, the line of scrimmage was the Ohio State 42 yard line, and ended when Callahan was sacked at the Wisconsin 49 yard line. The following play, the line of scrimmage is back to the Ohio State 42 yard line.

When Bo is first arriving at the 2014 NFL Draft, on a television screen in the background there is video of NFL Network with the text "The Pick is In" in it even though the draft was yet to commence.

In the initial product placement scene, Ali's Camaro is parked next to a silver pickup with the Chevy logo. From then on it's a GMC.

In the auditorium that is used as a situation room for the NFL Draft, four retired jersey numbers are seen hanging on the wall: Jim Brown (32), Ernie Davis (45), Don Fleming (46), and Lou Groza (76). There actually are five total numbers retired by the Browns, the fifth being of quarterback Otto Graham (14) who played with the Browns from 1946-1955.

When Anthony is telling Sonny to make a splash and that they need to sell tickets. The Cleveland Browns waiting list is currently at 10,000 and the Cleveland Browns were ranked first out of all 32 NFL teams in "fan loyalty." They routinely fill their 73,000-seat stadium despite cold temperatures and a dismal recent history, which includes zero postseason wins since the 1994 season. So ticket sales has never been an issue in Cleveland.

Anthony's Cadillac does not have a front license plate, which is required in Ohio.

In 2014 Draft Day was May 8. Wisconsin Coach Moore is holding spring practice on Draft Day, however under NCAA rules spring practices must end around the third week of April.

When Sonny is shown at his desk as the draft is about to get under way, the view behind him of the outdoors is nearly pitch black. Yet, the NFL Draft started in 2014 at 8 pm ET, and the sunset in Cleveland on May 8, 2014 (draft day) was about 8:30 pm, so it should have been fairly bright behind him.

When O'Reilly tells Sonny about the Redskins' play book trick, he says they hold the number 5 pick in the draft. But when the Draft begins, Denver is the team drafting ahead of Jacksonville, who holds the 6th pick. However, Sonny isn't the only GM making trades. But it is entirely possible that the Redskins traded the number 5 pick to the Broncos.

When in the waterpark, Anthony basically tells Sonny to do what it takes to draft Bo and when he doesn't, Anthony goes ballistic. After Sonny's maneuvering, Anthony is pleased with Sonny's dealings, but he still didn't have Bo and still could have gotten him #6. However, Anthony's order is not specifically to get Bo, it's to "make a splash" (i.e. a big, impressive, attention-getting gesture). Given the ripple of shock and surprise that spreads, Sonny is, in fact, following the directive given to him by drafting a player other than the one everybody has expected him to.

Kevin Costner's wedding ring mark (not wearing it) is visible throughout the movie.

Molina couldn't have made it back from New York City to Cleveland in the time it took from the second pick to the sixth pick. There was only 10 minutes tops for each pick, provided each team used it all before picking. It would've taken 45 minutes to an hour to get back to Cleveland by air, not to mention the time it took him to get from Radio City Music Hall to his jet, and to get from his jet to the training facility.

When Vontae Mack is driving in Virginia during his phone call with Sonny, he claims he is near his home, which is not in Ohio. But he passes The Bertram Inn & Conference Center which is located in Aurora, Ohio.

When Kevin Costner passes the train themed restaurant he is driving away from the Browns Training Facility, not towards it.

When Kevin Costner is driving over the bridge listening to the radio, he is driving over top of The Flats. He wouldn't need to be on that bridge if he was heading to the Browns Training Facility.

When Anthony and Sonny are talking at the waterpark, the waterpark is in Aurora, Ohio, formerly Geauga Lake Amusement Park. More than 40 minute drive and over 28 miles from Berea, where the Browns Training Facility and offices are.

When the draft has gotten to pick #4, Coach Penn says teams picking 2 & 3 went with their expected picks despite Callahan being available. When Sonny talks to the Jaguars GM Carson, he says that the Rams took his pick. If the Rams took their expected player, the Jaguars couldn't have had their whole draft thrown into a state of panic (the main reason to make the Browns trade with $6) thinking that player would still be there 4 picks later.

When in the waterpark, Anthony basically tells Sonny to do what it takes to draft Bo and when he doesn't, Anthony goes ballistic. After Sonny's maneuvering, Anthony is pleased with Sonny's dealings, but he still didn't have Bo and still could have gotten him #6.

When Sonny's assistants are talking to him about Bo's weaknesses and the girls he has gone out with, Sonny looks at his player profile. On it has his date of birth as 9/12/88. That would make him 25 years old at the time of the draft not 21 as Ralph said.

When announcing the previous year's Heisman Trophy winner, he says "2014 Heisman Trophy winner." If it was the 2014 Draft, it would be the 2013 Heisman Trophy winner.

While Ray Jennings is talking to Sonny Weaver by phone, a highlight of one of his college plays is shown. The player shown running is former Florida State University tailback Antone Smith. "A. Smith" can be seen on the back of his #6 jersey. Ironically, Smith went undrafted in the 2009 NFL Draft.

As the film opens, Chris Berman says, "32 teams, 7 rounds, 224 young men who are about to become players in the National Football League." Although 32 times 7 is 224, there are an additional 32 compensatory picks scattered throughout the draft, resulting in 256 actual picks. This all assumes that no picks were forfeited or surrendered.

In the beginning of the film the radio host says "football was invented in Canton Ohio". This is not in any way true. American football comes from rugby, football was an east coast game mostly in colleges, developed further by a Yale man and the first pro game was played in Pittsburgh. The American Professional Football Association, the forerunner of the NFL, was founded in a Canton car dealership on September 17, 1920, but football was not "invented" in Canton.
