NFC West

Standard

1. Los Angeles Rams

The sky is the limit with this group as they suddenly got better than last years group.

2. San Francisco 49ers

There’s no denying that what QB Jimmy Garoppolo did last year was simply amazing.

3. Seattle Seahawks

It’s a transition year for this franchise and a lot is riding on how they will react to it.

NFC South

Standard

1. New Orleans Saints

A greater emphasis on running the ball meant the defense wasn’t going to be exposed to long drives by the opponent.

NFC East

Standard

1. Philadelphia Eagles

2. Dallas Cowboys

In Eli they trust as the Giants selected RB Saquon Barkley with their first pick as opposed to a QB.

4. Washington Redskins

Replacing Kirk Cousins with Alex Smith isn’t a bad consolation prize. They just needed to do more this offseason. Continue reading
