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.

Commanders, Lions and Rams are the playoff teams
Commanders, Lions and Rams are the playoff teams
Patriots Bengals, Chiefs are playoff teams. Patriots Bengals new playoff teams
we go to the AFC North. It's going to stay the same. Bengals... Ravens are the best operation... Steelers have not been impressive... Cleveland ... probably finished fourth
NFC North Major change, Green Bay... The Lions, I'm dropping them to second... So I am taking the Bears from second to third, the Lions from first to second.
And these are my top five projected teams for twenty twenty five. Ravens, Lions, Bills, Chiefs and Commanders.
I always like the Rams to go to the playoffs.
he likes Bijon Robinson over Saquon Barkley in most leagues... that's why we've got Jean Robinson actually as the top running back this year.
he is what they're looking for, which is a clear number one
I think if Alor has the year he's gonna have, he'll be he'll he'll he'll be the top pick.
you've got legitimate All Americans in Caden Procter at tackle. He's going to be a first round pick.
if he does what he we think he's going to do, and he wants to come out after this next year, he probably will be the first overall pick
the rushing touchdowns are going anywhere Toush push or not, doesn't matter. He's going to run for ten plus.
Trey McBride could be one of those guys again talking about drafting players early that could define leagues... people are saying, dude, why didn't I take trade McBride in the first round
He could be a starting running back week one.
and he's gonna play almost eighty percent of the snaps Week one
you can consistently get Jalen Hurts in the middle to possibly the end of the fourth round in drafts... round four is a very reasonable price
potentially be the wide receiver one overall that you can get a pick six
a guy that I think is gonna be a locked in QB one
he's going to be the starter in two wide receiver sets opposite Nico Collins
he legitimately could revisit and put up top five numbers this year
Yes, RJ. Harvey fifth round every single time, auto lock on pick every single time. I'll take him in the fourth.
Genty has the receiving upside and the volume upside to be a top three back in his rookie season.
They repeat that this year with Tedroe may Millen at the top. He's spiking ten plus touchdowns.
he could be a guy that catches eighty balls this year and nobody should be surprised
