Story: At the NFL Draft, general manager Sonny Weaver has the opportunity to rebuild his team when he trades for the number one pick. He must decide what he's willing to sacrifice on a life-changing day for a few hundred young men with NFL dreams.
Likes : Sports films typically have a love/hate relationship with viewers - most never finding that honest middle ground that satisfies everyone's wants and desires. On one hand, you have the preposterous comedies that cap seriousness, sacrificing dramatic acting in exchange for a series of cheap laughs and feel-good moments, like Rookie of the Year, The Waterboy, and Caddyshack.
Then, there's the beloved and devote dramas that live on in film infamy, which includes but is not limited to Rocky, The Natural, and Raging Bull. Finally, you have Kevin Costner's greatest hits, like Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, and For the Love of the Game. And, even though Kevin Costner has left the baseball diamond and thrown his last fast ball, he clearly has found a memorable position as the GM of an NFL franchise in Draft Day.
This is just a male concept film has it dose have something for the girl although Both female stories go nowhere and could easily have ended up on the cutting room floor because they were really needed in this film. Instead, in a weak attempt to connect with a female audience, the two characters are awarded ample screen time to emote and distract Sonny on what is arguably the most difficult and focused day of his career.
Although both Jennifer Garner & Ellen Burstyn with there short roles were perfect.
The film its self isn't to bad, i don't no anything about america football so all this is new to me but for those who follow america football will love this film as it goes behind the scenes of what goes on during draft day for the football teams big wigs who bide for the best players, although i feel this film should of had some real football players to make it look more authentic, but dose a pretty good job at show the audience different side of draft day, watching this film Kevin Costner shows no bounds to his acting skill's as his performance is brilliant in this film with a good twist at the end which was clever to make a brilliant end to a good film.
If you a Kevin Costner fan or just like his moves this is one i recommend watching, but might no be for everyone.
Dislikes : As i said this film i think could of had a few real football players to make it look real, but but its was still ok.
Overall : Draft Day takes full advantage of telling an engaging behind-the-scenes tale using the world's most popular league as a vehicle. From the film's trailers, the film might appear to be one giant commercial for the NFL, but thankfully it turns out to be a well-scripted, charming experience.
Rating: 4.8 out of 5 for entertainment / 8.6 out of 10 for storyline / Concept.

I enjoyed it. You have a feeling who Sonny is going to go with, but then things happen and you really begin to question until it comes down to the clock. From the first pick to the rest, Sonny becomes a master GM and one with a mission.
