The middle ground
The same graded calls, zoomed to the bands between the spikes — every take that earned partial credit.
Takes in each band
1,344 graded takes land strictly between the extremes, and the shape has a story: the counts climb as the scores improve. A take that earns partial credit is far more likely to be nearly right than nearly wrong.
This is where the curve-graded kinds live — mock draft picks (914), season win totals (151) and positional finishes (130) — the kinds where missing by a little costs a little, not everything.

Every NFL take
2651–2675 of 3,881
number eleven, nine ers, I would go Calvin Banks.
Number one is Tennessee. You gotta get cam Warden. It's an easy one.
Panthers get T Mac wide receiver Arizona... Panthers at eight. Take him.
Number fourteen the Colts... Armand Memboo from Missouri who tore it up offensive lineman.
Number ten Bears, go get Edge Jaylon Walker... I like Walker to the Bears at ten
The Jets get Tyler Warren at number seven the tight end.
I think the Patriots are gonna get Abdul Carter. The edge.
number two, Cleveland. I think they go and get Travis Hunter, the best overall athlete in the draft
I think he'll win games. I think he'll make him a playoff team.
Number three may surprise you. I do now think the Giants are gonna take Shador Sanders.
Jaguars get Mason Graham... I think he goes number five.
Number nine Saints Will Johnson.
Number twelve Cowboys Amarion Hampton, running back North Carolina.
Number thirteen Dolphins, I'd go Will Campbell LSU.
And at fifteenth Atlanta Shamar Stewart edge rusher, Texas and m
Number one tier of his own is Travis Hunter... The two guys that stick out to me are Tetro McMillan at Arizona and then Amecha Buka at Ohio State... he's my number two receiver... So he's he's my three, and McMillan I have a little bit ahead of him... Golden's my next guy after a BUKA... Now, Luther Burden and Jalen Knowle actually out of Iowa State
I actually would feel more comfortable probably going drafting Fannin ahead of his consensus. Then I would which will probably be what second round
Now, Luther Burden and Jalen Knowle actually out of Iowa State. This is kind of like the guys that I think are late first rounders, early second rounder types.
And that's why I like Loveland more because to me, it's like I would take Loveland on twenty six twenty seven teams
This is kind of like the guys that I think are late first rounders, early second rounder types.
if I needed to pick one player from this class that that would like make Pro Bowls that has a you know, I think that that isn't gonna get taken in these tops
He has to be the te one... so he's my te one. Harold Fannon Junior, my fury... I would say Mason Taylor to me is a safer prospect than than Loveland... I prefer Taylor to love one
To me, he is right there with like the Jamar Chases and the best wide receiver prospects... it's why I have him fourth. I do have him behind behind Gold and T Mac... I have him right there with gold and I haven't really made a decision.
what's gonna happen is cam Ward's going number one
I think in any draft he'd be a top ten pick.
