The NFL/NBA Draft graphic gives analysts the ability to project which teams will draft which players and which teams may trade draft picks and to view team and player résumés.
On the left of the graphic is a scrollable list of draft picks for rounds one and two; on the right are scrollable lists of players grouped by position. The analyst taps a player and drags the player into each draft pick on the left. Players can be dragged to an unoccupied draft pick or an occupied pick; if another player occupies the pick, that player is sent back to the appropriate list in the correct order. Players in draft picks can also be manually returned to their lists.
To project a trade, the analyst can tap an NBA team logo and drag the logo to a new draft pick. Also, tapping on the number to the left of a logo will reveal a scrollable drawer to change the team at that pick.
Swiping an NFL or NBA team logo to the right will reveal the team’s résumé. Swiping a player headshot to the right will reveal the player’s résumé. To dismiss résumés, the analyst flicks them off the screen.
