Thanks to everybody that is voting for our 49ers community big board. We've got less than three weeks until the 2011 NFL Draft and here are players 16-20. I've posted the full list after the jump and will continue updating the list after the jump of each post:
16. Phil Taylor, DT, Baylor
17. Brandon Harris, CB, Miami
18. Akeem Ayers, OLB, UCLA
19. Jake Locker, QB, Washington
20. Mike Pouncey, C, Florida
We've now got three quarterbacks in the top twenty and I've added two more quarterbacks to the poll. Originally I was just going to add Ryan Mallet, but I know there are enough divided opinions about him that I wanted to offset him with another QB. So I've added Colin Kaepernick as well. In an ideal world I would have been able to include both QBs from the beginning, but given our limitation of just 25 players per vote, they're just coming up now.
I've posted . If you have a player you think belongs in the available voting options for the next poll, please mention that person in the comments. After the jump, I've posted a few pointers on the vote and the poll for spots 21-25. The primary thing to keep in mind is that you're making your selections based on how you think the 49ers should order their own big board. You can go best player available, need, value, character concerns, or any combination of those. Again, please just vote once. But do vote, because the more people that vote, the more accurate the representation will be of the community as a whole.
1. Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU
2. Von Miller, OLB, Texas A&M
3. Marcell Dareus, DT, Alabama
4. Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska
5. Robert Quinn, OLB, UNC
6. A.J. Green, WR, Georgia
7. Nick Fairley, DT, Auburn
8. Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri
9. Da'Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson
10. Cameron Jordan, DE, California
11. J.J. Watt, Wisconsin, DE
12. Julio Jones, WR, Alabama
13. Jimmy Smith, CB, Colorado
14. Cam Newton, QB, Auburn
15. Aldon Smith, OLB, Missouri
16. Phil Taylor, DT, Baylor
17. Brandon Harris, CB, Miami
18. Akeem Ayers, OLB, UCLA
19. Jake Locker, QB, Washington
20. Mike Pouncey, C, Florida
First off, remember that you can use the scroll bar on the right side to see the last few names. They're in alphabetical order by last name.
I realize I've probably left out players you might like, but given that we're looking at spots 21-25, I think I've included most, if not all, of the important names. I've pulled from Scouts Inc rankings for now and can only pull 25 at a time. We'll be doing this poll every day so we'll be adding five new players every day. If you have specific players you think should be added for the next poll, please mention them in the comments.
In the end, how you vote is up to you, but just remember that this is a 49ers big board. Not a mock draft and not a big board that can be applied to every team. Use your own philosophy, but just pretend this would be going to the 49ers when we're done.
