After MNF, 49ers Stay Put at Sixth in 2016 Draft Order
Dec 21, 2015 at 9:48 PM
•
Luckily for the San Francisco 49ers, the Detroit Lions won their Monday night matchup against the New Orleans Saints, making certain that the 49ers would not drop further in their projected 2016 draft position. Last week, the 49ers were
penciled in with the fifth overall selection in the 2016 NFL Draft. Despite a 24-14 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals,
they dropped down a spot to sixth overall based on current record and strength of schedule (SOS) if the season ended today. There was a possibility that the team could have fallen further had the Detroit Lions, who coincidentally happen to be the 49ers' next opponent, lost on Monday. They did not.
How high the team will actually select will be determined by the rest of the season and their final record. As reported earlier, the top spot is still owned by the Tennessee Titans for the second week in a row.
The undefeated Carolina Panthers still hold the final overall selection based on playoff seeding. If the season ended today, they would be the number one seed in the NFC and hold the best record in the league.
Below is the draft order, based on playoff seeding (21-32), record, and strength of schedule (SOS), for all 32 (31 if your don't count the New England Patriots) first-round spots
if the season ended today.

49ers plan to put in second waiver claim on Takk McKinley, says Kyle Shanahan

Nov 17, 2020
Head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Tuesday that the San Francisco 49ers plan to put another waiver claim on Takkarist McKinley. The Atlanta Falcons waived the defensive end last week and he was claimed by the Cincinnati Bengals.
The situation changed on Tuesday when the Bengals waived McKinley after the defender failed his physical, making him available again.
"I was told today that Take failed his physical," Shanahan said, "and I know we put in a claim last time. I don't think that's until tomorrow at 1 (pm PT), but I know we plan on putting another claimer in."

49ers head into much-needed bye week after loss to Saints
By Kirk Larrabee
Nov 15, 2020
With all the physical punishment they've taken over the first ten weeks of the season, it's quite possible no NFL team deserves and needs a bye week more than the San Francisco 49ers.
The 49ers will now get their much-needed bye week after a 27-13 Week 10 loss to the New Orleans Saints, and with any luck, they'll come back more healthy and refreshed than they've been since early in the season.
"They need some rest," 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said following the loss to the Saints. "They need to get away. We'll have a couple of days just to keep guys loose and moving around a little bit so we don't get too far away from football, but this is as much of a needed rest as a team I've been on."
