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.

126–150 of 3,881
17. Detroit Lions — Cashius Howell , EDGE, Texas A&M
23. Philadelphia Eagles — Denzel Boston , WR, Washington
Chris Johnson, cornerback from San Diego State... So he fits into the first round with Miami.
But I'm going to give the Vikings Caden McDonald, the defensive tackle from Ohio State.
R VIL Reese is still on the board for the Cardinals. Do they take him or go somewhere else. They are going to take him
They're gonna take Carnel Tate's wide receiver. Ohio State
I'm gonna go receiver Denzel Boston. I like his ability to win short, intermediate, deep down the field.
Let's start with the one oh one, which is an auto pick, So, Emory, I'm just gonna get your take on Fernando Mendoza. We know it's a lock... I think it's the right selection here for the Raiders
How about with Caleb Downs, the safety from Ohio State. What a great runout for Dallas staying put at number twelve
Caleb Blomo, the tackle from Utah. I think the forty nine ers have to start hatching a plan to replace Trent Williams
I think I'll take Jami and McCoy here right now... Give me your mama McCoy out of Tennessee.
Dylan Theeneman. They are going to take the safety from Oregon.
but I do think that TJ. Parker is a value at this spot... I think this would be a nice win fall at twenty six for the Bills.
Spencer Fano's still here... take the tackle to replace the tackle a year before you need him... that's what I would take him to replace Lane Johnson in the long term.
I'm going to give them Jordan Tyson here. You're right, you just take a wide receiver.
So I give the Saints Manster Delane to give them a nice outside presence across from kool Aid
But Texas Tech defensive end David Bailey... I'm taking David Bailey here.
let's get Jeremiah Love... Jeremiah Love, to me, is the best player on the board here. And he falls to five because of the position
I'm gonna go with kenyan A. Sadik... But that's why I w ke for Carolina.
Now I'm big, Iwanye Ione... Megge Yonkay? Look, they need a guard, they need offensive line help.
Makai Lemon out of USC benefits the Rams being there in La
why not backfield back with a good cornerback and Dangelo Pond's out of Indiana
They are going to take Cayden Proctor... So they are going to go with Procter.
Keldric Falk the edge from Auburn. Buccaneers do need an edge.
I'm gonna go Sunny Styles inside linebacker. I feel like this gives coach Robert Sala his version of Fred Warner
