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.

Steve Keldrick Falk the edge from Auburn just seems like an eric to cost A pick to me... I think they take Keldric Falk out of Auburn
none more interesting than Chris Johnson San Diego State... This is one of my favorite players in the draft.
I think the Ohio State linebacker RFL Reese is the best player in this draft... I'm taking Rvel Reese yes off the ball. Linebacker is a scary thing to take second overall
It's a Magno pregnant in the interior offensive lineman from Oregon, and like I said, I didn't consider anybody else.
My Super Bowl MVP pick is gonna be darnald. But that's such a boring one. It's plus one twenty five... but that that is my pick
I think Seattle is gonna jump on them early, but at the end of the game, I think it's gonna be pretty close... But I do think the Patriots we'll lose.
I believe this is a twenty seven seventeen Seahawks victory. Not a comfortable, not an easy win, but semi comfortable where Seattle has maybe a twenty four fourteen lead going into the fourth quarter and hangs on for a twenty seven seventeen win.
So here is my Super Bowl pick, Seahawks versus Patriots... I'm going to take the Seahawks to win close.
I think it's low scoring... twenty four to twenty Seattle
I think the New England Patriots are gonna win this game.
Listen, you're gonna go to the Raiders. We can project that. I'm projecting you're going to go number one.
I think Seattle gets the lead here and kind of chokes them out. I don't see this game being close call.
So Seattle's gonna win this game. I think. I think it might be a runaway. I don't know if it'll be that close.
But I like New England man, Like I think they can play ball... I just I just hope everything goes their way Bro. I want to see him when
Trey is is the best tight in the league right now
I think the Patriots have a walk off field goal win again, and they are going to Seattle twenty to seventeen
I gotta go with the Ohio State head... hot time, England Patriots.
I'm gonna say low scoring. I'm saying twenty four to ten.
I don't want to tell you I'm not going to score points against the Seahawk team.
hot time, England Patriots... I'm going thirty five. Oh yeah, well I'll touchdown twenty awkward, twenty nine
I do think see a better team, and I would think that they would win.
Nevertheless, Hunter Henry can be the v Oh my god, if if there's two or three touchdowns
I got Seahawks twenty and seventeen. I think it's a low scoring game.
there's something in my gut that tells me Mike Rabel is going to find a way. Rabel, it is a seventeen.
I'm going twenty one, twenty eight, twenty eight, twenty one.
