We got a new starting CB and a possible starting SS, and Rambo in all likelihood will be better this season. So I wouldn't say it turned out bad, but we still need secondary help; to the tune of a starting FS, slot corner, another outside corner to develop, and more all-around secondary depth. And even if all these DBs we drafted last year were starters, they wouldn't have turned our season around; just like if we had drafted 3 trench guys, they wouldn't have turned our season around. Your point about how a good pass rush can make up for a bad secondary is somewhat true; and I say somewhat because a good secondary is also quite important in today's NFL.
This team has deficiences all around. We can't draft trenches just because that's the correct way to build a team. We need to take BPA, and use FA to build depth so that we can use BPA strategy.
