The San Francisco 49ers are now poised to pick first overall in the 2017 NFL Draft. With the Cleveland Browns securing their first victory in the 2016 NFL season and the Hue Jackson era, the 49ers are now holders of the first overall pick next April. Should the 49ers lose their final two games they will pick first by virtue of the Browns better strength of schedule.
The Browns visit Pittsburgh next week in a matchup against the 9-5 Steelers. A victory for the Browns seems unlikely. The 49ers face the Los Angeles Rams in Los Angeles on Christmas Eve before hosting the Seattle Seahawks on New Year’s Day.
