Bears Win and 49ers Remain at No. 2 Spot in Draft Order

The San Francisco 49ers are enjoying their bye and did not play a game this week. With their 1-6 record, they remained slotted for the second overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft thanks to a Chicago Bears 20-10 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night. Had the Bears lost, they would have (at least temporarily) taken over the number two spot. The Bears now head into their bye week.
Of course, the number one spot still belongs to the winless Cleveland Browns. 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.

Rumors surrounding quarterback Deshaun Watson being "extremely unhappy" with the Houston Texans has sparked a flurry of trade speculation from fanbases across the league. And why wouldn't it? Watson is an exciting player to watch, and the prospect of upgrading your quarterback position will always create some buzz.

Hall of Fame wide receiver turned analyst Michael Irvin joins Bay Area radio every week to discuss all things football. So, of course, 95.7 The Game's Damon Bruce had to ask Irvin about the possibility of the San Francisco 49ers adding a dynamic and exciting player like quarterback Deshaun Watson.
Watson is not happy with the Houston Texans, which has led to speculation that the quarterback could request a trade. Naturally, that means nearly every fanbase that feels Watson would be an upgrade over their team's current quarterback situation is creating online chatter about a trade.
"I had already heard about all of the mess that was going on inside of Houston, but I thought no way, no way it would get to this place," Irvin told Bruce, Ray Ratto, and Matt

What would it take for the San Francisco 49ers to move up in the NFL Draft to grab a future franchise quarterback? Michael Renner of Pro Football Focus recently looked at five teams he feels should trade up to get a rookie passer and lists the Niners among them.
The analytics site recently released a mock draft that had the 49ers moving up to the No. 4 overall pick to select quarterback Justin Fields of Ohio State. Right now, the 49ers are slated to select at No. 12 overall. What would it take to move up to that spot?
