I do know that I cannot sit back and watch Tyler Polumbus let RG3 get killed for another year.

Actually, I think Amerson's a stud in the making. Based on last year, I think he could easily be a top 10 corner in the league. And I loved him coming out as well; in January of 2013, my first month on this site, there was a thread about trading for Revis to which I replied something to the tune of, "Revis would be nice, but he isn't really a viable option. How about drafting David Amerson from NC State?" But that doesn't mean I don't want Verrett as well; he's an ideal fit for a slot corner in the NFL. And good corners are like good pass-rushers; you can't have too many.

On Thomas, I loved him coming out as well. I made a pre-draft post about him too, something like, "Whoever gets Phillip Thomas is one lucky team." And with Bruce Allen saying that they expected Thomas to be a starter last year before he got hurt, I still have hopes for him. But Bucannon's a superior talent and doesn't have the injury issues.

BTW, it's safe to say that after last year's draft, I was ecstatic. Like a kid who had Christmas come early.
