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
351–375 of 3,881
Baltimore, Ravens Spencer for
Carolina Panthers, Monroe Freelink from Georgia... Just like at nineteen, I think I had Monroe freeling going to the Panthers
Chicago Bear is your guy, Emmanuel McNeil Warren
thirty two Brandon Ceesay Corner from South Carolina goes to the defending World Champs
New York Giants, Sunny Styles at five
he's going to try and take a linebacker in the second round ... And Jacob Rodriguez out of Texas Tech. So that's the one that I like for them
at pick number forty eight, it just so happens my forty eighth players Antonio Williams out of Clemson
when you're picking there at pick sixty two ... I'm gonna actually go with keiroon Crawford from Auburn
So I'll go our Mason Thomas at fifty two edge rusher out of Oklahoma.
They're going to draft a quarterback, likely Fernando Mendoza number one overall.
it seems like they're pretty locked on Jeremiah Love in the first round
Do you feel better to taking Carneal tape at six? ... Yeah, and I ended up putting Cornel tape in my last one.
So Caden Procter was another guy who moved up into your mock draft. He was not picked last time Alabama. The Eagles take him at twenty three.
Caden McDonald, the defensive tackle, is now in your mock going to the Patriots. At thirty one
your twenty seventh bick Kenyan Sadik the Oregon tight end, falling all the way to twenty seven... I can see it on the forty nine ers
and Caleb downs to the Bengals
Arvel Reese, the edge from Ohio State, call them the linebacker going to the Jets... I love seeing Rvel Reese at two.
Carnel Tate is going number six. That's obviously the Ohio state wide receiver going to the Browns.
sunny styles the big linebacker from Ohio State going to the Giants at five
A key messador the edge rusher at fifteen to the bucks
Now he's all the way up at sixteen... I love that fit for the Jets.
You have Mendoza first overall
the receiver out of Texas A and m... This time he's nineteen to Carolina.
Then you have Spencer Fanout going to the Chiefs as the second tackle off the board... So that's why I had Fano going nine to Kansas City.
The Texans who still need offensive line help... Besides just from A and M goes there at twenty eight.
