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.

NFL execs, agent ponder 49ers QB situation
Do the San Francisco 49ers need to do something drastic to get over the playoff hump that has plagued them for years? They reached the Super Bowl during the 2019 season but couldn't slam the door on the Kansas City Chiefs. They've come one win short of returning to the Super Bowl in each of the past two seasons, including Sunday's NFC Championship Game loss to the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field.
What's next for the 49ers' quarterback situation? One day into their offseason, the speculation seems to be running wild, especially after news broke that Brock Purdy, injured against the Eagles, suffered a complete tear of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his throwing
Nick Bosa wants to remain with 49ers, 'not necessarily' seeking to be NFL's highest-paid defender
Nick Bosa is the next San Francisco 49ers player in line to receive a big-time contract extension. Most expect the NFL Defensive Player of the Year frontrunner to become the NFL's highest-paid defender. But is that the talented pass rusher's goal?
"Not necessarily," Bosa responded when asked that question on Tuesday. "We'll just see where it goes."
One of his top priorities is remaining with the 49ers, the team that made him the No. 2 overall pick in 2019.
"I'd love to be here, for sure," Bosa said. "This is a great organization. They treat you as good as [anyone] can. I have amazing relationships here, so hopefully [I stay], yeah."
The defender isn't sweating the situation right now. He trusts the two sides will come to a mutually
Retirement? 49ers' Trent Williams hasn't decided on NFL future yet
Trent Williams knows the San Francisco 49ers roster has the talent to bounce back from Sunday's disappointing loss in the NFC Championship Game and have another impressive season in 2023. Will he be a part of it, though?
Williams has been in the league since 2010, when Washington made him the No. 4 overall pick in the draft. The 49ers traded for him in 2020. He has twice been named a first-team All-Pro, is a 10-time Pro Bowl selection, and will be a first-ballot Hall of Fame offensive lineman, when that time comes.
Could that be in five years, assuming he retires now? Has Williams, the best offensive lineman in the NFL, contemplated calling it a career?
"I mean, it's a long
