Yesterday, we took a look at the draft position of the San Francisco 49ers following their 12th-straight loss. The 49ers were defeated 23-17 in overtime by the New York Jets at Levi's Stadium. While the complete draft order included all of Sunday's games, it didn't include Monday night's game between the Baltimore Ravens and the New England Patriots. Of course, that game, won by the Patriots, had no impact on the 49ers' projected draft spot other than raising their strength of schedule by .003.

There are still three more weeks left in the NFL season so the order could shift before then. The winless Cleveland Browns, who lost their 13th game of the season, maintain the top spot. A Cleveland win before the end of the season would help boost San Francisco into the top spot should the 49ers continue to underperform and lose.


The 49ers have the Atlanta Falcons, Los Angeles Rams, and Seattle Seahawks remaining on their schedule. The Browns have the Buffalo Bills, San Diego Chargers, and Pittsburgh Steelers remaining on theirs.

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 and Super Bowl winner.
