Are you suggesting signing a 4th or 5th rounder in case we have three or four defensive back injuries again? Are you willing to cut this player when only two are injured?
If the Pats see a DB in any round that is far and away the best available player, they could easily draft one. The worst thing they can do at any positon it to say, "we have such and such player rated highly, but will take a lower rated "need" position. That's the kiss of death, unless the ratings are at least fairly close. They could easily draft a DB.
