The NFC West will be one of the best divisions in the NFL once again in 2021. The San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals combined for 36 wins last season, one less than the AFC North teams. It’s also interesting to note that the NFC West and AFC North were the only divisions in the league that didn’t have any coaching changes this offseason.
The Niners finished in the basement of the division due to an injury-plagued 2020 season. San Francisco had the most draft capital coming into the weekend and used the third overall pick on North Dakota State QB Trey Lance.
