The San Francisco 49ers, now at 5-8 after a loss to Washington, are currently projected to select at No. 12 overall based on record and the strength-of-schedule from the entire 16-game schedule (not if the season ended today). That's two spots ahead of the No. 14 position after Week 13.
Below is the projected draft order through Week 14 and 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.
Note: The list below has been updated following Monday night's game between the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns.
TEAM, RECORD, STRENGTH-OF-SCHEDULE
- New York Jets, 0-13, .596
- Jacksonville Jaguars, 1-12, .546
- Cincinnati Bengals, 2-10-1, .531
- Los Angeles Chargers, 4-9, .488
- Dallas Cowboys, 4-9, .488
- Carolina Panthers, 4-9, .538
- Atlanta Falcons, 4-9, .538
- Miami Dolphins (via Houston Texans), 4-9, .546
- Philadelphia Eagles, 4-8-1, .531
- New York Giants, 5-8, .498

- Chicago Bears, 6-7, .505
- New England Patriots, 6-7, .510
- Oakland Raiders, 7-6, .529
- Baltimore Ravens, 8-5, .507
The following is a list of the potential eight selections the 49ers might own next year before compensatory picks are factored in. The fifth-round selection will be obtained from New Orleans should linebacker Kwon Alexander reach a playing-time condition set during the trade that sent him from the 49ers to the Saints. It could turn into a 2022 draft pick, leaving San Francisco with seven selections in 2021.
The 49ers traded away their third-round pick for offensive tackle Trent Williams and obtained a seventh-round pick from the New York Jets during the trade for defensive end Jordan Willis.
- 1st round, No. 12 overall
- 2nd round, No. 43 overall
- 4th round, No. 109 overall
- 5th round, No. 140 overall
- 5th round, No. 159 overall (from NO)
- 6th round, No. 171 overall
- 7th round, No. 193 overall (from NYJ)
- 7th round, No. 202 overall
