It didn't work out because Amerson, Rambo, and Thomas didn't produce for the team. Look at all the great defenses (and as a result great teams) in the league, at the very least their secondaries were solid. The Redskins - not so much. There are question marks everywhere.
Sherman from the Seahawks was drafted in 2011. He made his mark last year. Maybe a little in 2012.

Can we please give the guys we drafted last year at least 1 year's grace before we throw them out into the muddy river of NFL wannabees?

Sherman - Maybe a little in 2012? In 2012 is when he broke through.

I'm hoping Amerson and Thomas prove me wrong and I would be happy, but they didn't show much except flashes here and there.

Rambo's start was so low, I'm surprised he hasn't been cut a long time ago. I would be pleasantly surprised if he wasn't cut before the start of regular season because that would mean that he was playing 100 times better.

Drafting Verrett or Bucannon would be a major upgrade over all 3 players now - even after their rookie season. There's no arguing at the very least that Bucannon is an upgrade over Thomas and Rambo. Thomas might have done well, but there was no telling that for sure before he got hurt. And now he's coming off an injury.
