Maybe now that our pick is a bit further back BB will use it and not trade down.

James Laurenitis baby !!
People are going to say I'm crazy - but I was never that keen on being stuck with a #2 pick that requires we pay a guy who hasn't played ONE down in the NFL the same amount of pay and salary cap as say, Richard Seymour.
For those who simply say - well, we'd just trade out of #2 - there's a lot of other teams who feel exactly the same way about the value that high, given the outrageous salaries those rookies at #2 command.
And ask the 49ers how happy they are to have committed so much salary to one of their recent top picks - namely their QB?
It's not a given we'd be able to trade out of #2. I feel much more comfortable at say, #5 (thinking we could trade down out of that easier than #2) and actually think that something around #8 could be optimum quality and value in the first round.

Higher (ie 2) is always better...You can always trade down, though you might not be able to get what the point value chart says you should.
If the 49ers win, our pick will be #8. If they lose, it could be #8, 7, 6, or 5. With a 49 loss, the pick will drop one for each team win:But as long as SF loses next week, the pick will be no worse than #8.
As pointed out, we could always pass if we wanted to. So higher is better.
No - you can't pass. The NFL is very clear on this. If you have #2 and no other team is interested in paying $25 million upfront to a guy with absolutely no NFL experience, you MUST take a player at #2.
