I just see a lot of meat on the bone from the 2nd to the top of the 4th round. Perhaps trading down in the 1st, trading down in the 2nd, and trading up in the 4th with next year's 3rd round pick could be accomplished. The DB, RB, OL, and DL talent is right there in the 30's - 120's.

I should have been clearer, pick #59 is late 2nd IMO. Not a huge reach at all, IMO, but I wanted to grab one of the better DBs in one of the 1st two rounds, and Pouncey was my 1st rounder, so....
What about doing this: Trade down with Jets get 29 and 61
Trade 81 down with the Chargers get 91 and 126
Trade 2011 2nd to Eagles for #70
29 Devin McCourty CB Rutgers
51 Nate Allen FS South Florida
61 Lamarr Houston DT Texas
70 *Linval Joseph NT East Carolina
91 Jerome Murphy CB South Florida
118 Mike Johnson OG Alabama
126 J.D. Walton C Baylor
151 Zane Beadles OG Utah more versatile depth, never to much depth
187 Andre Anderson RB Tulane
197 Reji Karim RB Southern Illinois
227 Mike McLaughlin LB/LS Boston College
We get a CB that can start Day1, a FS that should push Eugene Wilson for playing time, and is a huge hitter. Houston and Joseph add two solid pieces to our DL. Murphy is a steal at 91 and should see the field and is another huge hitter. Johnson, Walton, Beadles all push the veteran in front of them. Anderson and Karim add to the RB depth, and McLaughlin is still recovering from a achilles injury and can long snap, adds depth to LS position.
11 guys that all have a shot at the roster.
