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.
