I think in reality from your list most of them will be off the board at pick number 48. So I say...
Sio Moore LB
WR Keenan Allen
CB Johnthan Banks
RB Giovani Bernard
RB Jonathan Franklin
CB D.J. Hayden
NT Johnathan Hankins
ILB Kevin Minter
S Eric Reid
ILB Manti Te'o
OT Menelik Watson

In reality, most of them probably will be gone, but in our mock, they all happen to be here (and I don't think that we've had many picks that are completely out of left field...it's quite possible that the quite a few of those guys listed above could fall out of the top 47 next week). I know that I would love Allen at 48. I would love Minter at 48. I would love Te'o at 48. I would love Reid at 48. If all of those guys happened to be available, what would be your preference?
By the way, this is assuming that we took Jarvis Jones in round 1 in our board mock...so why would you take another OLB in round 2?
If Roquan Smith falls to late teens, trade 1.28 & 2.60 to SEA for 1.18 & 4.120:
1.18 LB Roquan Smith
3.92 FS Jessie Bates
4.120 RB Royce Freeman
5.148 DT Ken Norton
5.165 TE Chris Herndon
7.220 WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling
7.246 OT Brett Toth
If not:
1.28 LB Leighton Vander Esch
2.60 C/G Billy Price
3.92 FS Jessie Bates
5.148 DT Ken Norton
5.165 TE Chris Herndon
7.220 RB Ito Smith
7.246 WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling
I went Minter. A tackling machine.
I would go with one of the RBs, depending on whether I thought I could get Franklin in the 3rd. If I do, I will go someone else (e.g. Te'o). If I don't think Franklin would be available down there, then I take Giovanni Bernard, who may be a bit better than Franklin.
If I ran the Cards, I may have doubled down on o-linemen, since their o-line has been awful for a looong time, instead of going QB-WR. I would have taken Lane Johnson in the first and then maybe Larry Worford in the second. Or they could have done the opposite and taken Chance Warmack in the first and Menelik Watson in the second. They also could have considered a pass rusher like Ansah or Mingo in round 1 (or an Okafor/Montgomery type in round 2).

I picked Reid I think its time to start grooming a young safety.
