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.

Mock drafts will never please everyone, especially when they solely focus on the first 32 selections without offering perspective on what might come beyond the first round. Regarding the San Francisco 49ers, analyst Daniel Jeremiah's latest mock draft was no different. He projected former Penn State pass rusher Chop Robinson to join the Bay Area team. Why the skepticism from fans? The 49ers' free agency focus has been on revamping their defensive front. After allowing Arik Armstead, Chase Young, and others to depart for other organizations, the team addressed last season's inconsistent play by adding defensive ends Leonard Floyd and Yetur Gross-Matos, trading for defensive tackle Maliek

The NFL has penalized the San Francisco 49ers for payroll accounting errors that occurred at the end of the 2022 league year. This has led to the team forfeiting their fifth-round draft pick in 2025 and a reduction in their fourth-round pick in the upcoming draft.
