If that is your barometer you can't really say Dallas has "missed so many times" when they're hitting at the same rate of the safest position.

Trust the board and take the best player available regardless of position.
Missed on Felix Jones, Anthony Spencer, Bobby Carpenter, Marcus Spears, and technically Bryant and Smith.

That is 6 misses and 4 hits. For one pro bowl appearance, that is about where it should be. However the rate for multiples still goes pretty low, given that only DeMarcus Ware and Roy Williams went to multiple. And going for Williams is a bit of a stretch...

I would certainly consider hitting the league average (if we even met that), to be missing a lot. We've been an average team, and we've won one playoff game.
In the final two months of 2011, Romo’s passer rating was 115.9.
