The teams make the picks. You get to react to them. Just in time for tonight’s NFL Draft, we're launching a new feature in the Yahoo Sports app (iOS version) that enables fans to react to draft picks with emojis. You’ll have the option of three emojis for each pick: - 🔥 (agree, great pick!), 🤔 (unsure… we’ll see), or 😬 (not a fan of the pick) - Once you react, you’ll see how your reaction compares against fellow fans and Yahoo NFL Draft experts. The reaction results will also be shared during “Yahoo Sports Draft Live,” which premieres tonight at 8pm ET on the Yahoo Sports YouTube channel. The feature is designed to help fans experience the draft together. George Leimer, our Yahoo Sports Head of Product and Technology, sums it up: “Few events inspire more real-time reaction and debate than the NFL Draft, so we’re excited to give fans a fun, easy way to share their takes in our app. Takes are best shared with others, so the feature enables fans to see how their reactions stack up against the broader Yahoo Sports community, including some of our draft experts.” Check out a preview of the experience below and enjoy the draft, no matter if your team makes a 🔥, 🤔 , or 😬 pick!
