The San Francisco 49ers knew their draft position as soon as the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Cleveland Browns in overtime. No matter what had resulted from their game with the Seattle Seahawks, they would have the second overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Of course, we have no idea who will be making that selection nor do we know who that young man's first NFL head coach will be.
Both general manager Trent Baalke and head coach Chip Kelly were officially fired on Sunday.
Regardless, we now know the draft order for the top 20 picks. Below that are the playoff teams. Their final draft positioning will be determined by how far they go in the playoffs. The deeper they go, the worse the draft position.
There is also a tie at the number 14 spot between the Indianapolis Colts and the Philadelphia Eagles due to similar records and strength of schedule. A coin flip will determine who will draft at the number 14 and 15 spots.
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 with the spots for playoff teams likely to change by the end of postseason play.

"49ers look like the NFL's most complete team": Where San Francisco stands in Week 4 power rankings
The undefeated Miami Dolphins' 70-20 win over the winless Denver Broncos has shot them to the top of multiple power rankings. However, for most, the San Francisco 49ers sit in the top spot.
Also undefeated and sitting atop the NFC West standings, the 49ers are coming off a 30-12 win over the New York Giants. The team is so well-rounded, and Brock Purdy continues to rack up the wins as the starting quarterback.
San Francisco has started the regular season 3-0 for the ninth time in franchise history and has now won 13 consecutive regular-season games dating back to Week 8 of last season. It's the longest active streak in the NFL and the second-longest winning streak in franchise
49ers WR Deebo Samuel's status appears to be trending up ahead of Week 4
By Rohan Chakravarthi
Sep 30
The San Francisco 49ers announced their weekly practice squad elevations, sharing that wide receiver Willie Snead and cornerback Kendall Sheffield will be called up to the active roster for their Week 4 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.
With the announcement that Snead would be called up, one may assume that 49ers wideout Deebo Samuel's status would be trending down, as the 49ers expect to add another wideout to the active roster for Week 4.
However, it's actually the opposite.
Looking at the injury report, the 49ers aren't at risk of just missing Samuel, but
What Kyle Shanahan said the day after 49ers' Week 3 win vs. Giants
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke with reporters via a conference call on Friday, the day after the team's 30-12 win over the New York Giants. Here is everything he had to say.
Transcript provided by the San Francisco 49ers Communications staff.
Opening comments:
"[LB] Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles had an ankle. He's day-to-day. [LB Dre] Greenlaw ankle, day-to-day. Both of them are low. [WR] Deebo Samuel, his ribs checked out, no break. Pretty sore today, so it'll be day-to-day. And that's it from the game."
With the amount of blitzing that the New York Giants did, have you seen that before or was it expected? What was your game plan going in facing that?
