In fact, Norman actually made plays on the ball more often than he did last season; the former Panther intercepted or broke up 20 percent of his targets, the highest percentage in the league. Beyond Norman, injuries definitely did not help the Redskins’ secondary. However, Will Blackmon played well when given a chance, and Bashaud Breeland played better as the season progressed. Missed tackles were an issue for Washington’s defensive backs. Their 61 missed tackles were fifth-most among NFL secondaries, and Duke Ihenacho recorded the second-most for a defensive back, with 15."
You know what, Duke Ihenacho needs to go.

Good wrap up which I agree with. I saw Duke bounce off enough ballcarriers last year to know we need an upgrade. Blackmon can go too, I think he's undersized for safety. Bree/Norman can stay as starters and obviously Fuller needs more development, but those are the only three I'm keeping. I'm hoping Cravens balls out at SS but I don't think we can guarantee it.
