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.

I've been saying it from the get go, at some point you're gonna see Jackson Dart just because Brian Dayball wants to save his job... at some point Brian Davil's got to put him out there
I'm gonna money line the Detroit Lions, sticks picks, the lines are gonna win that game out right on the road, outright in Baltimore.
what if the Chiefs just come out and obliterate the Giants?... I think they will.
You got the Ravens. They gonna win that.
I mean, so we're looking at I don't know, man, three. four more. At the most, maybe four more wins.
I have got Ridley, Ricky piersall wide receiver thirty four
You've got him at eleven.
you guys both have him at six
Calvin Ridley wide receiver thirty five
You guys both have them high twenty two for fits, twenty four for ericson
you got him at wide receiver twenty four, so you got him to the wide receiver two
He was wide receiver four in ECR yesterday he's moved up to three and you guys both have him at six.
I've got him right now at wide receiver ten myself.
Jalen Waddle. I've got AMIT wide receiver thirty two, his ECRs wide receiver thirty eight.
You guys both have them high twenty two for fits
Juwan Jennings wide receiver thirty seven
ericson you're way down. You've got him at wide receiver thirty five.
This week, it is not Jamar Chase... it is CD Lamb. In the consensus ranks, Jamar Chase is number two, Justin Jefferson three... Starting at twenty five, We've got Tyreek Hill, Courtland Sutton, George Pickens, Terry McLaurin, Devonte Smith, Jacobe Myers... DJ Moore, Ricky Piersol, Calvin Ridley, Marquise Brown, Juwan Jennings, and Keon Coleman.
next year he likely becomes the NFL's first ever three times Comeback Player of the Year winner
the top ten NFL teams according to Colin... Colts at ten... Washington at nine... Niners at eight... Number seven, Tampa Bay... I'd put the Chargers [six]... Number five The Ravens... Number four the Bills... I have the Rams at three, number two Philadelphia... number one... green Bay... I have Kansas City at eleven. I have Denver troubling. They've been sloppy at twelve
Take the Chiefs out, They'll make the playoffs. They're going to be fine.
Quorum would clearly be the guy quote unquote. Sure he would split some carries here and there, but he would be the guy.
He's going to be playing for months now. Unless the Bengals go out there and make a trade ... So it's gonna be Jake Browning
he's running as the one and the week one. Usage was very good too.
if something happens to Karen Williams, it is one hundred percent clear that Korum's the backup plan, not Darko's hunter
