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.

in RVL, Reese obviously is probably has a better shot at top five at this point just because of the thought that he's an edge rusher
he submitted Himself as a top ten player ... To me, it's the lock that he's going within the top ten
So Mendoza zero hate. I hope everything works out successful. He's going to be the number one pick.
that player is Sonny Styles, who is going to be a top ten pick, but he may have moved up even a little bit higher than that
get ready for this because there's only one legitimate quarterback, first round quarterback. That's Fernando Mendoza.
once you get past Mendoza going to the Raiders... So he's a really good prospect worthy of going first overall.
Mendoza's Fernando Mendoz is going to be the number one pick
So I honestly think that he may have fallen out of the first round entirely after Wow
is this guy a top five pick? Is five even gonna be like the floor for him
it's totally justified for him to be considered a top five pick
what do they have the second overall pick of the draft after Mendoza goes number one
Well, I think it's a one hundred cent lock. Mendoza is the pick.
Obviously Mendoza is the best quarterback in this class, and he's also going to go number one.
COLORADO i would give him the starting job BECAUSE i think you want a quarterback in a year
BUT i think somewhere later in the first, round as somebody sits there and, goes you know, what we can work with him and develop him
that does bode well if he's going to be the first pick of the draft with the Raiders.
BUT i think you'll See Cole payton end. Up maybe he'll be in the fifth or a fourth fifth round. Range
they win eleven games to make the. Playoffs
Mac jones to go there thrive with koc they win eleven games to make the. Playoffs
I looked at Mel Kuiper's latest mock draft... So he's got Caleb Downs, a safety, going number two to the Jets.
I say to Malik Willis, come on in here you go, job's yours... And I don't think JJ McCarthy is the answer, at least not yet.
I think he's gonna end up in first round when it's all said and done.
And then you know a guy like Malachi Lawrence out of UCF maybe in the third round is another really good players
I think Lad's a legitimate number one receiver.
He could end up with Jalen Waddle like seventeen hundred yard eight touchdown season. It wouldn't surprise me.
