Tiers beat rankings: drafting by dropoff, not by number
Ranking player #24 over player #27 is false precision. Nobody can tell those three spots apart, and pretending you can leads to bad picks. Tiers fix this by grouping players you'd be equally happy with, so the only question that matters becomes visible: which tier is about to empty out?
Last-in-tier is the signal
When you're on the clock and a tier has one player left, that's the alarm. Take the last back in the tier now; the position can wait a round because the next tier is functionally identical. The FBSharp draft board flags the last available player in each tier automatically.
Pair it with next-pick math
Tiers tell you what's scarce; next-pick math tells you whether you can wait. If 16 players come off the board before you pick again, a tier with three players left is gone. Together they answer the only real draft question: reach now, or roll the dice?
