How can you consider a guy a miss when he puts up similar numbers to guy you consider hits? The only guy you can say his much better than him is Bell the rest of those guys have put up similar yardage marks to Bernard.

They don't have similar numbers, though. Three of the four are Pro Bowlers, three of them have 1,000 yard rushing seasons, neither of which Bernard has.

Lets say you have three guys, all have similar-ish numbers. One was the 37th overall pick, one was the 181st overall pick, and one was undrafted. How can you not say the 37th overall pick wasn't as good as the 181st or the undrafted?

Or you can imagine it like this... you and I both go out to buy a hamburger.

You buy a hamburger from a place for $20.
I buy a hamburger from a place for $1.

They're both the same quality of hamburger give or take a little. Maybe you got a few more sesame seeds on your bun, or three pickle slices instead of two, but same quality of beef, roughly the same taste. So wouldn't I have obviously done a lot better than you?

I'm not just weighing stats in my determination of if I considered it a miss or not, I am also judging the value of the pick. I really like Gio, he's a good role player. He's just not what I would want from the 37th overall pick/first RB taken in the draft. He was the closest on my list of misses to not being a miss.
