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.

denver broncos one of them at, Number Thirty... anthony hill Linebacker From texas
Yeah so It's love to The commanders, Here, Joe... at Seven
pick number, thirteen... they are going to take McKay, lemon the wide receiver FROM Usc
Sunny Styles kind of cemented himself as a top five pick, if not the second overall pick overall
number six, here The Cleveland browns are up... let's give him for incess mino offensive tackle out Of miami
if you told me that Monroe Freeling was a top ten pick in this draft as the number and somebody made him the first offensive lineman in the draft, I wouldn't be surprised... It wouldn't shock me if he was the first one to go.
if you told me that Monroe Freeling was a top ten pick in this draft... I wouldn't be surprised
His teammate Jadarian Price. I really really like him. I think he's a second round guy... I think that he still goes in the second round somewhere
I think we have a couple guys go in the third round. So that's like Mike Washington junior from Arkansas
So there's Sadik, who's kind of an interesting guy because he a little bit undersized but super dynamic. He'll go in the first round
He's my fortieth player. You know, maybe he'll probably move up a couple spots, but he's not going to be inside my top thirty two guys for this draft. I think he's the second round pick.
I think it's a loaded group that obviously styles is going to go all the way up there in the top ten.
I'm talking about the bottom of the second round, bottom of the first round... I would be okay at the bottom of the first, but hearing what I'm hearing about him and people talking about top six, I was like, no, I can't.
Fano, who you know has his shorter arms but literally worked out at center, can play any of the five spots, is a really good player. He's going to go in the first round.
I had given him a day two grade, and I think he just kind of slidifies himself as the middle of the second round type of prospect.
he's not going to get inside my top thirty two players. I view him as a second round pick. That's what I think he is.
Jeremy Bernard is going to be a really really good player... I think he's got a really good shot of going in the second round
He's going He's probably gonna go. In the first half of the first round
is somebody going to go all in in the first, round which they probably will For Ty? Simpson, okay happens every single. Year
