Sports-Reference's draft pages live on their own domain under their own terms. SleekRank lets you build a parallel corpus on your own site with your own framing, schema, and cross-links. The data feed can be your own research, a licensed feed, or scraped public data within terms-of-service limits.

Each pick object carries an original_team and a final_team field. The board renders the final team with a trade indicator next to the pick. A trade_notes JSON array on the row captures the major trade context (the 2017 NFL Bears-49ers swap, the 2003 NBA Pistons-Cavaliers Carmelo near-miss). All three render via list mappings.

Leave the career_outcome column blank or set it to TBD. A conditional selector mapping renders a TBD badge on those picks. The breakdown card excludes TBD picks from its outcome distribution, so the 2024 draft does not surface a misleading bust-heavy distribution two years in.

Yes. Each pick object can carry a combine sub-object with 40 time, vertical, three-cone, and bench press. A conditional selector mapping renders a combine micro-card per pick when the data is present. NFL draft pages surface combines; NBA pages surface measurements; the same template handles both.

The board paginates client-side so the page stays fast even with a 40-round MLB draft. List mapping renders all rows, and a virtualized table component handles render-window optimization. Position and school breakdowns operate on the full array so the stats are accurate across all rounds.

Each special draft is its own row with its own slug. The 1984 NFL Supplemental Draft and the 2017 Vegas Golden Knights expansion draft render as distinct URLs with their own pick boards. A category column on each row drives a selector mapping that surfaces the right context block per draft type.

Each page carries unique year, unique sport, unique pick board, and unique player rosters. The shared structure is the template and the schema shape, not the content. Google treats per-year draft pages as distinct entities, the same way Sports-Reference's own draft archive gets indexed across every year and league.

Pre-load the pick row before the draft starts with empty player slots. Live-edit each pick into the JSON array during the draft and flush the cache between rounds. The page goes live with the latest picks within minutes of each cache flush, so draft-night traffic lands on the current state of the board.
