2018 NFL Draft order following Week 17: 49ers and Raiders tied at No. 9 - coin flip coming

Dec 31, 2017 at 6:34 PM--


At one point this season, the San Francisco 49ers were on pace to own the second-overall selection in the 2018 NFL Draft. The team saw drastic improvement once Jimmy Garoppolo, who was acquired via a trade on October 30, was inserted as the starting quarterback. With Garoppolo at the helm of the offense, the 49ers won their final five games of the season and, as a team, won six of their last seven games to finish with a 6-10 record.

The 34-13 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday means the 49ers move down another spot in the draft order, which is now finalized for selections 1 through 20 pending any future trades. Spots 21 through 32 will be determined based on the final playoff results.

The 49ers now sit at the ninth-overall spot, which is one place lower than last week. However, they are tied with the Oakland Raiders, who own the same record and strength of schedule as the 49ers. That means a coin flip is in both team's futures to determine which club selects ninth and which selects tenth.

The coin flip will take place at the NFL Scouting Combine in February.

Of course, the top-overall pick belongs to the Cleveland Browns, who became just the second NFL team in the history of the league to finish 0-16 (2008 Detroit Lions). The Browns also own the fourth-overall pick, which originally belonged to the Houston Texans.

Below is the current draft order, based on playoff seeding (21-32), record, and strength of schedule (SOS) for all 32 first-round spots. As mentioned, the order of the bottom 12 teams will eventually be determined by the playoff results and Super Bowl winner.

Team W-L SOS
1 Cleveland Browns 0-16 .520
2 New York Giants 3-13 .531
3 Indianapolis Colts 4-12 .480

Daniel Jeremiah explains why 49ers could still address pass rush in NFL Draft

By David Bonilla

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. San Francisco's fourth-round selection, initially No. 131 overall, now shifts down four spots to the end of the round at No. 135, following the compensatory picks from that round.

The team's selections in the upcoming draft are as follows: Round 1, Pick 31 Overall Round
