49ers Will Select Seventh in the 2016 NFL Draft

Jan 3, 2016 at 6:11 PM--


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.

"They are basically fielding the NFL All-Pro team": Where the 49ers stand in Week 3 power rankings

By David Bonilla

The San Francisco 49ers have now won 12 consecutive regular-season games, just three games shy of tying the 15-game record set between the 1989 and 1990 seasons. Sunday's 30-23 win against the Los Angeles Rams may not have been the prettiest of victories, but Kyle Shanahan's squad improved to 2-0 on the season and sit alone atop the NFC West. The 49ers managed to beat their division rival despite quarterback Brock Purdy having arguably his most unimpressive game as a starter. He finished the game 17-of-25 for 206 yards and a passer rating of 93.1, a new regular-season career-low as a starter. Meanwhile, running back Christian McCaffrey leads the NFL with 268 rushing yards and ranks second only to wide receiver Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings in

John Lynch reveals 49ers' plan for NFL-leading salary cap space

Don't get your hopes up if you were waiting for the San Francisco 49ers to make a splashy mid-season move. The team restructured the contracts of tight end George Kittle, tackle Trent Williams, and defensive tackle Arik Armstead ahead of the season and now owns a league-leading $42.6 million in salary-cap space. The team with the next highest amount of space is the Cleveland Browns with $34.4 million, and then the Arizona Cardinals with $14.2 million, per OverTheCap.com. The Niners' money is earmarked for the future, though. There are no plans to bolster the already talented roster this season, short of something unexpected happening. "We've pretty much done what we're going to do this year," general manager

49ers vs. Giants: Kyle Shanahan hilariously explains chaos of a short NFL week

By David Bonilla
Sep 19

NFL teams do not like Thursday night games. More precisely, they don't like the short week of preparation for those games. It's a mess for players and coaches. The San Francisco 49ers will host the New York Giants at Levi's Stadium on Thursday, just four days after beating the Los Angeles Rams. Players had Monday off. On Tuesday, the 49ers will forego their normal full practice, replacing it with two lighter walkthroughs. Head coach Kyle Shanahan was asked about the problems a short week creates. He offered a pretty humorous but honest answer. "You feel extremely rushed," Shanahan told reporters during his Tuesday press conference. "I saw the players a few hours ago, and

"49ers look like the NFL's most complete team": Where San Francisco stands in Week 4 power rankings

By David Bonilla

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
