Introducing PickSwap, the pro football draft trade modeling app for iPhone! This straightforward app has free functionality that lets you model potential draft trades between teams for the next upcoming draft. Proper draft order is included in all levels. Simply add the draft picks for trade from two teams and see how the value adds up. Draft order is accurate for all teams, including picks that have already been traded. Share your trade ideas right from the app via messages, email, social media, etc. A fun tool for draft nerds and football fans. Use your choice of 4 widely-accepted value charts - Jimmy Johnson, Baldwin, Fitzgerald-Spielberger, or Harvard HSAC. Plus, you have the ability to add future picks from three future draft years, the ability to adjust future draft pick values based on estimated draft slot, and the ability to add players from a team's current and up-to-date roster to a trade with custom point values. Future year trades have up-to-date draft order reflecting picks that have already been traded! Not affiliated with the NFL or any NFL teams. Have fun!
