Running back is a higher priority than cornerback and a backup free safety is a higher priority than cornerback, especially if Bill Belichick is not so enamored with Brandon Meriweather.
We all agree with that but but it would be stupid to draft a running back or safety who can't play instead of a corner who can. With the late picks you're usually just trying to find a guy who can stick in the NFL.
We can all agree that, heading into free agency, the primary team needs are something like:
OLB
LT
G
A 3-4 DE
Either an OLB or a pass rush specialist
RB
WR
G/C
FS
Developmental tackle
RB
WR could possibly move up, 3-4 DE could move down, but that's roughly the list, and corner, ilb, and TE fall below that. But adding crappy players because they fit a need but don't have ability doesn't help anything.
