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.

Every NFL take
176–200 of 3,881
Instead you have him taking a cornerback Jermad McCoy from Tennessee
You keep the Ohio State train going at number seven. It's Caleb Downs... the Commanders going with Caleb Downs
Patriots at thirty one, take Clemson edge TJ. Parker
Now you have styles going to the Giants... they will have an opportunity at five to add to that defense
The Bucks are up next at fifteen, and you haven't taken a key messador from Miami.
Minnesota taking Emmanuel McNeil warren the safety from Toledo
He would be the first offensive lineman off the board in your draft, and a guard
and then Avian Terrell, AJ's brother, the Clemson cornerback, going to the Cowboys
you wrap up the draft at thirty two with Brandon Sisay, the South Carolina cornerback... they just lost Reek Woollan to free agency
You have Jordan Tyson, the Arizona state wide receiver, falling all the way to twenty six... So if Tyson falls to this point for them in the draft
You went wild Jeremiah Love to the Cardinals at three. The Notre Dame running back
The Chargers are up next. You have them taking another wide receiver Omar Cooper... That's why it fits here, I think at twenty two.
Bain ends up going the next pick... But New Orleans still hasn't resigned Cam Jordan... I think there's eight really standout players in this draft, and you took him in the top eight in a row
No Casey concepts you on. That's where I disagree the most. I think he could go as high as top fifteen... So I don't think he's getting past a lot of receiver needy teams in the late twenties.
that's why he's worthy of the sixth overall pick in this draft... Carnell Tate, you have going to the Browns
come back with the Chiefs on the clock at number nine... So they get the best corner in the draft in Mansor Delaine
So maybe that's why the Steelers. You have another tackle off the board, Monroe Freeling.
if we're recapping the sixteenth to twenty picks, you had Lemon to the Jets... Makai Lemon out of usc
the forty nine ers you have. Taking Keldrick Falk kind of a divisive prospect
The Casius Howell pick to the Lions at seventeen
You have them going to the Titans... that's at number four, so your Reese falls to them
The Ravens, you know, start what's going to be a run of tackles with Spencer Fano
you had Caleb Lomu the tackle going to the Texans at twenty eight
Lee Hunter from Texas Tech going to the Panthers
The Dolphins take Colton Hood, the Tennessee cornerback, at thirty
