And I do disagree with your assessment that a backup or rotational player is a miss.  This team has what many experts consider the best 53 man roster from top to bottom.  There's not going to be a lot of room for guys to step in and start.  In the 90s and early 2000s I would agree that those guys would be misses, but when they are sitting behind other 1st rounders and solid players, it's hard to crack the lineup.

I will use Gio as an example. I love Gio, but he's not what you want from the 37th overall pick. A miss doesn't really mean a bust, but it does mean you didn't get what you'd like.

He was the first running back taken in the entire draft. The Bengals had every single one to choose from and they went with Gio. So when Le'Veon Bell, Eddie Lacy, Latavius Murray, and CJ Anderson are all taken after him and are all better, how can he be a hit?

Who specifically are you arguing against being a miss? Please also use statistical backup as to why you believe they are not a miss (to avoid looking at all these players with orange tinted glasses).
