NFL and college football fans unite! It’s almost time for the 2026 NFL Draft. And we know you have your opinions about who should be drafted to your favorite team. But you don’t have to keep it bottled up — you can share your approval (or disapproval) with us. The Yahoo Sports app lets you react to each draft pick with three different emoji (find out which ones below). Plus, you can back up your reaction with a comment and see what other fans have to say about your team’s pick. There's also a Live Activities feature for iPhone users to follow the draft right from your lock screen.

If you're following the 2026 NFL Draft, you can use Yahoo Sports as your ultimate player research tool. It features an interactive NFL Draft guide, which shows player scouting reports and comps, draft news, as well as the latest Yahoo Sports mock draft and big board. You can use the big board to filter by NFL teams, schools, player positions and attributes. Some elements from the draft guide are also available in the Yahoo Sports app via enhanced prospect pages.

Now let's dive into all the features you can use on the Yahoo Sports app, and how you can connect with other NFL enthusiasts.
