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.

if we get to week eleven twelve... it just wouldn't surprise me if he's more true workload Bijon Robinson type of guy as we get later in the season
Florio's picks: CeeDee Lamb 4th, Malik Nabers 9th, A.J. Brown 14th, De'Von Achane 19th, Trey McBride 24th, TreVeyon Henderson 29th.
I just feel more confident that a Nico Collins at this point is a better football player than a Brian Thomas junior... To me, he is a top five dude, like as just at the position
he is in a safe spot right now where I think he's going to be cracking that top three of the Fantasy wide receivers
At some point Jackson Dart's taken over there.
Marcus's picks: Justin Jefferson 5th, Christian McCaffrey 10th, Amon-Ra St. Brown 15th, Lamar Jackson 20th, Jonathan Taylor 25th, Jameson Williams 30th.
I'm taking ceiling guys and he's maybe the last of these guys that would it be that crazy if he was wide receiver three at the end of the year.
Patrick's picks: Ja'Marr Chase 3rd, Derrick Henry 8th, Ashton Jeanty 13th, Brock Bowers 18th, Tyreek Hill 23rd, Terry McLaurin 28th.
Greg's picks in the mock draft: Jahmyr Gibbs 2nd, Saquon 7th, Nico Collins 12th, Chase Brown 17th, Ladd McConkey 22nd, Omarion Hampton 27th.
LaQuan's picks: Bijan Robinson 1.01, Puka Nacua 6th, Brian Thomas Jr 11th, Drake London 16th, Josh Jacobs 21st, Kenneth Walker 26th.
I love getting Terry in the spot and he's gonna be He's gonna be the wide receiver one, he's gonna score touchdowns.
those yards, those touchdowns are all going to increase this year where I think that Drake London can definitely crack that top five.
The Ravens, the Bills, and the Chiefs will be in a playoff game whether they are win the division.
I think there's a fifty to fifty chance there the number one see, I expect them to win fourteen plus games.
The Ravens, the Bills, and the Chiefs will be in a playoff game whether they are win the division.
The Ravens, the Bills, and the Chiefs will be in a playoff game whether they are win the division.
Shadur is going to start. Mark my word
I'll move the Niners from fourth to third... I think Seattle is gonna win the division... Commanders, Lions and Rams are the playoff teams
Do not worry about Jordan Love's non throwing hand. He will start Week one
The East remains the same. Eagles, Commanders, Giants, Cowboys.
Patriots Bengals, Chiefs are playoff teams.
the easiest pick in the NFL this year for a team that didn't make the playoffs last year and will this year is Cincinnati
Commanders, Lions and Rams are the playoff teams
AFC East Bills are going to win it. Patriots are my most improved team... Dolphins coming out now... The Jets, I just structurally I have no idea their fourth
Commanders, Lions and Rams are the playoff teams
