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
3051–3075 of 3,881
Sedar Sanders is up to number three with the Giants.
Will Campbell the tackle from LSU go to the Bears. At ten
behind armand Membu, who's going number seven to the Jets
Jackson's Dart going twenty one to the Steelers
Maxwell Harston is new. He's at twenty three to the Packers... that's why I had him going to the Packers
Mason Graham to the Panthers, at eight... I think he went from what five to eight
Jihad Campbell all the way up to number nine. From twenty nine... Campbell to the Saints is really interesting to me
Matthew Golden number twelve overall... There's no Accngendy on the board for the Cowboys
Travis Hunter to the Patriots at four
So this time around, we got cam Ward number one... So that's why I've slotted cam Ward in at the number one spot.
Yeah, Starks to the Dolphins. I should have mentioned at thirteen.
Colson Lovelin, What a what a pickup this would be for the Seattle Seahawks... You have him falling to eighteenth
I would put Green Bay at ten... Number nine, Denver... The Commanders... I have him at eight... Number seven really worry about Kansas City... Number six the Chargers... I have the Lions at five, number four... I have Buffalo at four... I have the Ravens at three... I put the Rams at two... Number one... Philadelphia's number one.
I think it's going to be a slight pullback here. I still have them as a playoff team.
I think they have the second most talented quarterback in the division. I don't think it's particularly close in Drake May.
I think the Chargers probably win twelve.
I have the Bills, Ravens, Texans Chargers, and then the Patriots, Bengals che Thiefs
I think they will double their win total, no question.
I'm gonna go Chargers win the AFC West. Kansas City's the wild card team, Broncos third, Raiders fourth
I'm gonna take the Texans, Titans, Colts, and Jags
I have the Bills, Ravens, Texans Chargers, and then the Patriots, Bengals che Thiefs
wild card teams are the Patriots, Bengals, and Chiefs
I have the Bills, Ravens, Texans Chargers, and then the Patriots, Bengals che Thiefs
AFC North, Great Division. I'm gonna go Ravens, Bengals, Steelers, Brown
Kansas City's the wild card team
