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.

551–575 of 3,881
Give them David Bailey Edge out of Texas Tech.
I'm gonna take Jermalbroog, Jermaud McCoy corner out of Tennessee
Giants run Selac safety Caleb Downs. The Giants have a lot of pass rushing talent, but they need some help on the back back end
Denver Anthony Hill linebacker Texas. Let's go.
I'm gonna give him cash Us how the edge rusher out of Texas A and M.
let's get him Jordan Tyson here and make up from that wide receiver out of Asu
I'll take the risk for the Cardinals and take rvel risk. Rvel recent number three
I'm gonna get him, defensive tackle Caleb Banks out of Florida.
Let's give him a safety. Emmanuel McNeil Warren nine pass breakups over the last two years.
Rosenthal reads out his entire top 101 free agents of 2026 list, from Malik Willis at No. 1 down to Jadeveon Clowney at No. 101.
I would say most people would have him as the third.
Malachi Fields probably goes in the second round
Denzel Boston is going to go in the first round
I think the Jets are a kind of a prime candidate to take one there at two
Jake Slaughter from Florida I think would have a chance as a third round pick to come in and get on the field right away.
they've got a really good player there in Trading stukes who's a little bit. OLDER i think's probably goes in the third. Round
Max clair is my favorite of the, bunch but that would that would be at pick sixty. TWO i think that's a great value for, him would be at pick sixty two
But I think he's clearly the second quarterback in this draft class.
Sam Heckt from from Kansas State, I think can start day one. He probably goes in the late second, early third, round range.
But now the Washington Commanders. It's a bi lo spo seven and a half. You get Jayden Daniels for the full season. That's really low. ... When I like, I like over I think
I know their division is hard, but getting to eleven wins, I love the Lions to get to at least eleven wins this coming season.
and the Lions do get a break this year of having that schedule that allows them to win games ... So I I could buy the Lions being over team.
it feels like a team that if they're Darnold's ten fifteen percent worse. The offense isn't as good. You lose a couple of guys in defensive free agency, and you're just not as good. Next season, that could be a ten and seven team.
maybe that elevates him back up into the first round. He's just outside that for me.
I put Malachi Fields in there. Okay, late in the first round to a team that could be looking for a little size at the wide receiver position
