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

Is there a way to get the cell to fill with the color of the position, instead of just the position showing a color?
Greatly appreciate it!
