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.

He is a top five pick and I wouldn't be shocked if he goes even higher than that.
He is my number one wide receiver in this draft.
Look for him to go in the first round, of course, in April's draft.
I do think cam Ward is the first quarterback in this draft.
cam Ward great prospect. We'll be an NFL starter next year and will be a top five, top ten pick, no doubt.
the reason that I think the Titans go quarterback... the guy I'm taking to be more upfront is cam Or, I would go out and take cam Ord... I'm gonna go out and I think they take Campboy.
We'll be an NFL starter next year
and he did like he made himself money, he helped himself. I thought he was like a third fourth. I think he's in the top one hundred now. Is a linebacker.
the guy who ended up winning the Buckets Award this year, Jalen Walker, might project better for many teams as an ed rusher. It might be one of the top three edge rushers in this draft.
Demetrius Knight from South Carolina stood out to me... Might even be you know, could be linebacker one as an inside linebacker.
All I know is late my latest mind Draft thirty two, James Fears was going to the Philadelphia
More than likely cam Ward will go first and then Shadoor Sanders after that.
More than likely cam Ward will go first and then Shadoor Sanders after that.
After that, I have Jackson Dart kind of sitting in that third spot, but really four through seven is wide open, and even three I'm not solidifying Dart at three.
everyone's talking about cam Ward and Shador standers one and two rightfully

Jehat Campbell from Alabama. If he doesn't go in the first round, guys, I don't know what, Like, what are we doing?
I don't think there's that guy there this year. This might be the top wide receiver taken in the draft. Mika Booga
a player that was moving yesterday the top at the three cone drill might have solidified himself as a first draup pick
That being top ten might be a little rich, I might say more as top fifteen
But for it it's the context of he's my old lineman one.
He's a slot only guy, but he'll probably be a number three, but I like him as like a third rounder.
especially I've seen him more as a late first rounder, maybe sneak in early second type
I know teams don't want to draft three down linebackers too early, so he's he's a first round pick. We'll see how high he goes.
I could see him sneaking into the back end of the first round... But if anything, he's a day too. Guy
