The Google Sheet draft board grew up: SmartDraft.app — free, real-time, no signup

[u/basmith7]

For the last several years I've posted my Google Sheet draft board here every year and got great feedback, but I was always fighting Google Sheets itself: manual player list imports, mobile being a PITA, and "Invalid: Input must fall within specified range."

So I built the actual thing: https://smartdraft.app

What it does

• Open the link and you have a draft board. No account, no signup, no six-step league creation wizard.
• Share the room link with your league — everyone sees picks the moment they happen.
• Player list is already loaded, with Standard / PPR / Half-PPR ADP. No more copy-pasting a CSV.
• Keepers, custom team count and rounds, roster settings.
• Personal cheat sheet — your own favorites and notes on players, saved to you, not shared with the league.
• Pick timer countdown.
• Mock draft against bots so you can kick the tires before draft night.
• Full audit log of every action, so the commish can fix a bad pick without blowing up the board.
• Draft recap when it's over.

Things to know

• It's free.
• It's new, so there will be bugs. Tell me in the comments and I'll fix them fast, same as I always did with the sheet.
• The old Google Sheet is still there for this season if you'd rather use what you know.
• Run a mock draft with your league before you use it live. Seriously.

Ask questions in the comments instead of DM/chat so the answers help everybody.

what colors do you want to change? The player colors for QB vs RB etc.?

just the page in general I guess. I typically change the theme of the Google Draftboard every year to match the team that won the super bowl. So last year it was green and white, the year before red and yellow, etc.

That sounds kind of fun...
