Platform draft boards are excellent at running the draft itself — they are the source of truth for picks and the clock. What they do not do is re-price the remaining pool against your scoring rules after every selection. Cheat sheets solve the format problem once, before the draft, and then go stale the moment the board diverges from ADP. Draft Waiver sits on top of the board you already use and keeps the valuation current.
