Top of the Draft Order Unchanged after 49ers and Browns Lose Again

The San Francisco 49ers received no help from the Cleveland Browns today. The Browns remained winless and fell to 0-14 – the worst record in the NFL.

The 49ers have now lost 13 straight games and still do not move up in the projected draft order for 2017. They remain slotted at the number two spot, where they will remain if both teams lose their remaining two games. Should the Browns win a game and the 49ers continue to lose, then San Francisco would move into the top spot because their strength of schedule is worse than Cleveland's.

The 49ers will travel to Los Angeles to play the Rams on Christmas Eve and then host the Seattle Seahawks on New Year's Day.

The Browns will host the San Diego Chargers on Christmas Eve and then travel to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers during their finale on New Year's Day.

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 and Super Bowl winner.

1 Cleveland Browns 0-14 .567
2 San Francisco 49ers 1-13 .510

49ers insider: If Brandon Aiyuk is traded, it will be before the draft

By David Bonilla

Brandon Aiyuk appears open to the possibility of playing elsewhere in 2024. If the San Francisco 49ers can't negotiate a favorable long-term deal with their star receiver, he knows someone else will. However, the 49ers primarily aim to retain Aiyuk for the long haul. The team exercised the fifth-year option on his contract but seeks to secure an extension before he retakes the field. General manager John Lynch recently praised Aiyuk, calling him one of his "favorite guys around the building." "He's a competitor. He's a warrior," Lynch added. "He plays with such physicality, also with grace, in the way some of the positions his body can get into. And then he's got a flair
