San Francisco 49ers (3-13)

Biggest Strength: Defensive Line

The addition of DeForest Buckner gave the 49ers a stud up front. Add him across from Arik Armstead, another 1st round pick from Oregon and put the underrated Ian Williams in the middle and that front is teamming with youth, size, athleticism and power. As they develop moving forward, they are going to put fear into a lot of opposing offenses.

Biggest Weakness: Wide Receivers

Year after year this has been a problem for San Francisco. They’ve been making due with free agents like Anquan Boldin and Torrey Smith to cover up a constant inability (or unwillingness) to draft them. As murky as the quarterback situation is, it will be hard for Kaepernick or Gabbert to succeed when their array of targets are so un-intimidating.

Final Record Reason

This roster is a far cry from the one that reached the NFC championship just over two years ago. So many key pieces are gone and despite the ongoing efforts of the front office, many holes remains from receiver to offensive line to the secondary. Now throw in their third head coach in three seasons and it’s hard to imagine this team does much winning. Especially in that division.
