Of those 3, RB has the shortest 'shelf-life' so, that's why I'd hate to take Ryan Mathews in the 1st round. My prob is I don't know which RB will be available in the 3rd round. So, yes, getting an extra 2nd round pick by trading down would be WONDERFUL. I'd probably go with something like....

1. CB Devin McCourty
2. OG Jon Asamoah
2. RB Ben Tate
3. DT Geno Atkins
