We already knew that the San Francisco 49ers would be selecting with the No. 2 overall pick come April's draft. Now that Sunday night's matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans is in the books, along with the 2018 regular season, we now know the draft order for the top 20 selections, pending any future trades.
Picks 21 through 32 will be determined by the playoff results.
The three-win Arizona Cardinals secured the top overall selection after their Week 17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Three teams, including the 49ers, finished with four victories on the year. Of the three, San Francisco owns the weakest strength of schedule, which is used as a tiebreaker among teams with matching records.
Below is the current draft order, based on record and strength of schedule (SOS), for the first 20 first-round spots.
