Although I think Rambo is and will prove to be the better overall player; Thomas is a VERY good Blitzer and a pretty reliable tackler as an in the box S. If he's put at SS he'll be a decent starter. This Rambo/Thomas topic is good, but remember there both Redskins, and if they can help our secondary I'm all for it.

It's amazing to me that we are comparing Thomas to Chris Horton.
Horton had heart he just wasn't talented enough, but that dude played hard

After Rambo cuts the first guy in half with a machete, no receiver will come over the middle again.

As far as I'm concerned, we drafted three safeties. That's because I think Amerson's best position would be FS. Nevertheless, if Amerson can play CB we really win big by picking him.
I like all three of the DB's we picked. I admit that Phillip Thomas is my favorite. He is an exciting playmaker with outstanding ball skills and blitzing ability. Bacarri Rambo seems to have everything you would want in a FS. I'm very high on him, as well.
Like Mike Shanahan, I love having competition for jobs on the team. It prevents complacency. Players either compete hard for jobs or they eliminate themselves. As a bonus, the winners become better players because of the competition they faced.
I just like the idea that there will be plenty of competition for DB jobs this season. Put the players on the field, let them compete, and may the best men win.
Amerson said the Skins have only talked to him about playing corner. We seem to have plenty of options already at safety.

I'm aware of that, but what if he he doesn't make it at corner?

Then we cut him and move on.

Let's see what he does at corner first. If he can't make it there he's probably not worth keeping around for very long.

What if?
What if he becomes a five time pro bowler?

Amerson may be an Antrell Rolle type where he starts at CB for a few seasons before transitioning to a S which may be his ultimate position. Agreed that they will consider him only a CB until he shows otherwise though.
