49ers lose 10th straight but don’t move up in draft order

The Cleveland Browns and the San Francisco 49ers continue to lose, which keeps the two franchises slotted for the top two selections in the 2017 NFL Draft. Nothing has changed for the 49ers, who moved into the number two spot back on October 23.
The 49ers have now lost ten straight games, their longest losing streak in franchise history. They are 1-10 this season while the Browns remain winless at 0-12.
Monday's game between the Green Bay Packers and the Philadelphia Eagles will have no impact on the 49ers' current draft position. How high the 49ers will actually select will be determined by the rest of the season and their final record.
Right now, the 49ers have a very slight edge over the Browns when it comes to strength of schedule (SOS), which would be used as a tiebreaker if the two clubs eventually ended the season with the same record. Of course, that strength of schedule will fluctuate based on the combined records of the two teams' opponents.
The 49ers will next travel to play the Chicago Bears on December 4.
Below is the current draft order, based on playoff seeding (21-32), record, and strength of schedule (SOS), for all 32 first-round spots
if the season ended today. Of course, the order of playoff teams would eventually be determined by the completed playoff picture.

49ers insider offers optimistic view of offseason: "They didn't lose any superstars"
Change is inevitable in the NFL. Free agency can often mean drastic change. For the San Francisco 49ers, it meant the departure of 12 unrestricted free agents who found new homes with teams willing to pay them more for their services.
"[W]hile I am happy for them and their families, I am also sad to be losing some of my closest friends for the last 5 years," tight end George Kittle posted on Instagram, discussing the initial flurry of roster activity at the start of the new league year.
While there were more exits than arrivals, San Francisco added one big-name free agent—defensive lineman Javon Hargrave. It's a move that bolsters the interior of a
Javon Hargrave loved "everything but the taxes" in deal to join 49ers
After a very productive season with the Philadelphia Eagles, defensive tackle Javon Hargrave earned a big payday with the San Francisco 49ers, signing a four-year deal worth up to $84 million. That is life-changing money for the 30-year-old.
Hargrave joined KNBR on Friday to discuss the move from Philly to the Bay Area.
"I was talking to them before I even signed, and one thing I even told him, even the players that had [contacted] me was just it ain't really too much convincing you all can do," Hargrave said. "You ain't really got to convince me. I guess they thought I was playing at the time, but it ain't really hard to convince when you go into a team that's built on winning, and one, they trying to come pay me big money."

6 biggest 49ers draft mistakes of the Shanahan and Lynch era
By Rohan Chakravarthi
Mar 21
The San Francisco 49ers have been known as a team that has built throughout the draft in the Kyle Shanahan era, which has led to seasoned success throughout the head coach's tenure, with the organization reaching the NFC Championship Game three times over the past four seasons.
However, among the several draft hits that have propelled their roster to one of the league's best, there have been several mistakes that set the organization back at the time.
With the NFL Draft approaching next month, and the 49ers having another integral draft for their future success, let's revisit the five biggest draft mistakes of the Shanahan-Lynch era thus far.
