49ers Move into Second in 2017 Draft Order

There is a silver lining to the San Francisco 49ers losing their sixth-straight game. They moved up two spots in their projected 2017 draft order. Last week, they were in line to have the fourth overall selection in the draft. Following Week 7's 34-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they have moved up to the second overall pick
if the season were to end today. The 49ers win a tiebreaker with the Chicago Bears due to a weaker strength of schedule.
The number one spot belongs to the winless Cleveland Browns. Monday night's game is not expected to impact the 49ers' placement at the top of the order.
How high the 49ers will actually select will be determined by the rest of the season and their final record.
Below is the current draft order, based on playoff seeding (21-32), record, and strength of schedule (SOS), for all 32 first-round spots
if the season ended today. Of course, the order of playoff teams would eventually be determined by the completed playoff picture.

Raheem Mostert joined KNBR on Wednesday morning for a lengthy interview on the Murph & Mac show. The San Francisco 49ers running back knows that losing on Sunday to the Arizona Cardinals was a disappointment, but he and his teammates aren't dwelling on it.
"For me, personally, I think that game just kind of woke the beast up a little bit as far as where we want to go," Mostert said. "We've just got to take care of business this weekend, and handle what we can control, and go out there and try to get another win."

After getting his feet wet in his NFL debut last week against the New York Jets, rookie wide receiver and first-round draft pick Brandon Aiyuk took the next step against the New York Giants Sunday, finishing with five catches for 70 yards along with three carries for 31 yards and a touchdown.
Aiyuk, who missed the season opener against the Arizona Cardinals as well as a portion of training camp due to a hamstring injury, saw 44 snaps of action in the 49ers' 31-13 Week 2 win over the Jets and caught two passes for 21 yards. He played a much bigger role in the 49ers' 36-9 win over the Giants in Week 3 and gave some glimpses of what he might deliver down the line.
