49ers Will Select Seventh in the 2016 NFL Draft
With the San Francisco 49ers 19-16 overtime win against the St. Louis Rams on Sunday, the team has
fallen to the seventh overall selection in the 2016 NFL Draft.
Things may shift a bit with the lower selections because of the Sunday night game between the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers, but for the 49ers and everyone around them, they are set.
Last week, the 49ers had
moved up to the fifth overall selection with their loss to the Detroit Lions.
The team may make their selections without head coach Jim Tomsula, who is
expected to be let go following a disappointing 5-11 season.
21 and below will be determined by how the playoffs finish.
Below is the draft order, based on playoff seeding (21-32), record, and strength of schedule (SOS), for all 32 (Really 31 since the New England Patriots have forfeited their pick) first-round spots
if the season ended prior to Sunday Night Football.

4th Quarter
GAME ALERT: The San Francisco 49ers win 30-10 to put themselves at 5-5 and further into the NFC playoff race. They'll face the Minnesota Vikings next week in a crucial game regarding playoff standings at Levi's Stadium.
In addition to Trey Lance, Trey Sermon, Aaron Banks, and Jaylon Moore are all in during San Francisco's final drive. The image of the 49ers' future.

Watch out NFL: Kyle Shanahan says 49ers' Nick Bosa is 'getting better each week'
San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa racked up nine sacks during his NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year campaign in 2019. He has already surpassed that mark through 10 games this season. Bosa's 10 sacks are tied for the fifth-most in the NFL. Imagine the number he could have amassed if he wasn't being held so often by blockers doing whatever they can to prevent the dominating defender from getting to their quarterbacks. On Sunday, you saw it with Jacksonville's Jawaan Taylor holding onto Bosa, who still managed to reach rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
"The reason why [he's being held so often] is he's so good and so fast at taking that inside move,"

The 49ers defense does their job, as the Nick Bosa sack kills the Minnesota drive, forcing a Vikings punt and giving the 49ers a chance to tie this game.
SACK ALERT: Nick Bosa notches his 11th sack of the season, quickly evading left tackle Christian Darrisaw and getting to Kirk Cousins for San Francisco's first sack of the
