Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers, sitting at 6-9, have been eliminated from playoff contention. Each additional loss inches them closer to a top-10 draft selection. Based on their record and the full 17-game strength of schedule (SOS), the 49ers are currently projected to pick 11th overall.
Their next test: a Monday night matchup against the Detroit Lions at Levi's Stadium.
Please note that this rundown accounts for remaining opponents when calculating the strength of schedule, rather than simply reflecting the current standings if the season ended today. However, if the season ended today, San Francisco would remain projected at the 15th spot.
Below is the projected draft order through Week 16 using the strength of schedule from the entire season. Only the top 18 spots are listed below as the remainder will be based on the outcome of the playoffs.
