- The first trade call, with Tom eating pancakes and negging Brian Drew, is the first nominee; it ends with "enjoy your pancakes, Tom," though real executives would not talk this confrontationally.
- Chadwick Bozeman's first scene as Vante Mac is the second nominee.
- Sonny telling the war room about the third first-round pick takes the air out of the room; asking Ali about the cap only after the trade is mocked, as is Allie's Super Bowl trivia, likened to Uma Thurman in Beautiful Girls.
- The Coach Penn scenes and Frank Langella as owner Anthony Molina are praised, including the owner saying his quarterback prospect will be the son he never had.
- Vante telling Sonny to watch the tape, and the war-room tape review with instantly cued footage, a sports-movie trick compared to Blue Chips, are liked.
- The Browns taking Vante Mac is liked for his stunned joy and the war room freaking out over trading three first-rounders for a linebacker.
- Sonny demanding his picks back and David Putney leads to the "pancake eating motherfucker" line, called the movie's only f-bomb.
- The Ray Jennings draft call is raised but bothers the co-host because Ariad Foster's character never responds, and Vante never gets a call at all.
- Ralph's birthday-party reveal and the $100-bill playbook reveal, ending with Sonny shouting not to tell him who the other player was, are in the consideration set.
- The pick is the second trade with the Seahawks to get back the number ones: lines like "It's Jeff Carson, Tom," a clock-like score and the bookend to the first trade make it the closest thing to flawless.
- The other host agrees 100% and would always keep watching when that part comes on TV.
