With those players out of the picture, we need to figure out who to pick for the 49ers 30th pick. Down below, I've posted the best available players based on Mocking The Draft's April 2 Big Board. I've included a poll for people to vote on their favorite. After you vote, go down in the comments and post your top two choices. I figure we'll likely lose one of these to the Patriots pick, so I'm curious to see backup options.
