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

Or maybe Wilson falls to the spot we trade down to... it might happen.

Along with trading down, I would trade next year's 2nd rounder for a an early 3rd this season. Might be the season to go all in at the draft, build the foundation.

1 CB Kyle Wilson
2 RB Montario Hardesty
2 DT Lamarr Houston
3 OG Mike Johnson
3 DT Linval Joseph

I am with Roy on the short shelf live of the RB being an issue, that is why I pass on Mathews in the 1st, but if he is available in the early 2nd might have to look at a trade up.
