Pats want Tayor. At any cost!

why would we want to stick at the #5 spot to pick up ONE player, even if he is as good as reported, when we could get multiple good if not possibly pro-bowl players to fill the multiple holes we need filled? It's kinda like a boat with a few leaks, why only plug one leak when you can plug up several? I know Taylor has the potential to be a very good safety, but I'd rather have an all around strong team. It just seems like smart business and managing to me to make the team better at several spots rather than just one. That's a lot to be hoping for one player, a rookie on top of that, to be the saving grace of our defense. plus the contracts of the picks we'd draft in a trade for the #5 selection combined would probably be about the same, if not cheaper, than the one contract given to Taylor.
