Correct, right now everything is set to True Mean. That means that instead of using a high and low point only and then using linear regression, there is a third point added at the population mean. For example, a QB's THP ranges from 99 to 70 in our system. The average is 84. So we set the maximum grade (5.0) to 99, the minimum grade (1.0) to 70, and the average grade (2.5) to 84. Create a nice polynomial curve and you have a regression that covers all QBs based on their scouting grades.
