2019 NFL draft order: 49ers still hold No. 1 overall pick after win


We'e SOOO bad we can win a game and STILL draft 1st?!

Nice. There's no chance they beat Seattle, Chicago or the Rams. The #1 pick is ours.

Hopefully the Rams will have something to play for

The Niners could lose out, and the #1 pick is still not a guarantee.

I like that we should get first crack at coaching in the senior bowl
Gruden and the Raiders I assume will man the other sideline

 

[deep9er]

I wouldn't waste money on a mediocre guy like that.

i agree but saying thats how they do it.

I'll guess they don't want other teams to nail down our pick, even though its obvious? Partly, it allows for a trade down that's too good to pass up?

The Niners could lose out, and the #1 pick is still not a guarantee.

But even #2 should allows us a top pass rusher?!

Ok, now we get back to your individual view of pass rushing prospects.

49ers’ Arik Armstead nearing first-round potential with improved play down the stretch | NFL Analysis | Pro Football Focus


Wow! Hold your horses on Arik Armstead. So now Lynch and company have to project if Armstead will keep this up?

Ok, now we get back to your individual view of pass rushing prospects.

'A' top pass rusher? Guaranteed. 'THE' top pass rusher? Not so guaranteed. The more I read, the more I like Josh Allen and Jachai Polite....but I think all things considered....both play second fiddle to Bosa. A lot can/will change in 5/6 months, and I've already made my opinion on this, so we'll see...

That was my worry but I believe they'll need to win out to have a chance for home field against the Saints. So if everyone cooperates we should be good.

Deep Niner posted a link which I could not open in post 101 that seemed to indicate they still were in position for the #1 pick.

I read that they consider him elite against the run but ineffective against the pass. Not sure he even has a single sack.

 

[Ricky Roma]

All depends on the Cardinals and the final records of teams like Washington, NYG, Atlanta and TB. Long story short....SF is in the drivers seat right now, but a lot can change in a few weeks.

2019 NFL Draft order, team needs: 49ers No. 1; Eagles in top 16

This indicates Niners are in if they lose out.

With all three of their remaining games against winning teams, the Niners' strength of schedule could swell before the season is out, threatening to knock them down in the draft order even if they lose out..

That is correct. IDK about the sack. The 49ers have a number of players that effectively play the run but aren't really pass rushers. Even Thomas plays the run pretty good but he doesn't rush the passer well. They have some duplication and they need to sort it out this offseason

It's highly unlikely the Raiders schedule is enough better that they will have a hard time catching the 49ers or Cardinals. The Cardinals and 49ers are tied in strength of schedule and if it ended that way the 49ers would still have the top pick because the Cards have the better divisional record.

Yes but the teams the 49ers played that the cards didn't aren't very good either so.

And whupped the 49ers twice.

Got it

I'm not sure they take that into account just who has the better divisional record but if you beat a team twice you are likely to have the better divisional record.
