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.

49ers' Trent Williams and Deebo Samuel named to 2021 NFL All-Pro Team
Two San Francisco 49ers players were named to their first NFL All-Pro team. One is third-year wide receiver Deebo Samuel, one of the most dynamic players in the game. The second is the team's nine-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle, Trent Williams.
Both were first-team selections.
Until now, Williams, a first-round draft pick in 2010, has gone his entire career without being named to an All-Pro team, which may be difficult to believe. On Thursday, a reporter asked the veteran tackle what it would mean to finally be named an All-Pro.
"I think it would feel good, finally," Williams responded. "It sucks because I can't let it define my career because I've never made it. If I felt like that's what I needed to define my career, then anything I've done up to
NFL exec predicts 49ers trade Jimmy Garoppolo to Washington
Jimmy Garoppolo isn't thinking about the offseason right now. He is focused on the San Francisco 49ers' next playoff opponent—the Green Bay Packers. However, most predict that San Francisco will transition to 21-year-old Trey Lance this offseason, no matter how far Garoppolo takes the team in the playoffs. Could a Super Bowl win change the plan in Santa Clara? Possibly. It may at least cause some rethinking among the 49ers brain trust.
Still, there are significant benefits to moving on from Garoppolo, especially if coaches feel Lance has benefited enough from an entire season of studying behind the veteran quarterback. The most obvious benefit is the salary-cap savings. Garoppolo is set to count $27 million against the cap in 2022. On his rookie deal, Trey Lance will
49ers' Kyle Shanahan has no problem with NFL overtime rules
During a weekend filled with thrilling Divisional Playoff finishes, the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs matchup stood out. It came down to overtime and a coin flip. Bills quarterback Josh Allen called tails. It ended up being his biggest mistake of the night because he was nearly flawless until that point, passing for 329 yards and four touchdowns.
Calling heads gave the football to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense. Allen never returned to the field. In six plays, the Chiefs marched 75 yards down the field, ending the game with an eight-yard touchdown pass from Mahomes to tight end Travis Kelce.
The game has sparked much debate from the media and fans, who feel that the outcome came down to the coin flip. With both teams so explosive to that point, you
49ers Notebook: Could 49ers mark end of the road for Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady? Arik Armstead the baller; Deebo's big run; Outcome never in doubt?
There's a lot to unpack from Saturday night's memorable 13-10 win for the San Francisco 49ers over the Green Bay Packers, but some of the biggest news to surface since that game came to an end involves the legendary quarterback the 49ers faced in their latest playoff victory—and the one they could face next week.
Keep in mind there are still a lot of unknowns here, including (as of Sunday morning) whether or not the 49ers will even get this opportunity when they battle in the NFC Championship next Sunday (6:40 p.m. ET/3:40 p.m. PT, FOX). But based on what Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Saturday night to go with what's been reported about Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady over the past 24 hours, it's not incorrect to say the 49ers could conceivably be the team to
