NFC West

Continuing my breakdown of the divisions I move onto the NFC West

Seahawks- they might have had one of the best offseasons plus they get healthy this year. They signed WR TJ Houshmanzadeh, FB Justin Griffith, DT Colin Cole, and traded for DT Cory Redding. In the draft the got OLB Aaron Curry and OL Max Unger.
Strengths- A brand new season. Last year they were plagued by the injury bug. But now Hasselbeck and others are healthy. WRs are their biggest strength the have Housmanzadeh, Deion Branch, Nate Burleson, and TE John Carlson. They have Jones, Duckett, and Forsett at RB and they have one of the best LB core in football with Curry, Tatupu, and Hill
Weaknesses- their running backs are good but not great. Jones shows potential but is fragile. Maybe duckett and Forsett can take pressure off of him
Prediction- they are the best team in that division if healthy they win it

Cardinals- drafted Beanie Wells in the draft and signed CB Bryant McFadden
Strengths- Offense, offense and offense. Fitz Boldin, Breaston, Hightower, and Wells are nightmares for D Coordinators. Their secondary is great with Rodgers-Cromartie and McFadden at Corner and Rolle and Wilson at safety they are set.
Weaknesses- their front seven are suspect. They were great in the playoffs but a lack of pass rush could hurt them.
Prediction- they finish second but make it as a wildcard

49ers- they signed CB Dre Bly, DE Justin Smith and OT Marvel Smith. They also drafted Michael Crabtree and RB Glen Coffee.
Strengths- Running game. Their O Line is built to punish and with Gore, Coffee, and Robinson they will run the ball down your throat. Their defense is real good under Mike Singletary.
Weaknesses- QB. They have WRs that are good, a great running game, a solid line, and pass catching tight end and a great D but no QB.
Prediction- Singletary plays them hard and they play tough but dont be surprised when they draft a QB next year.

Rams- added steve Spagnuolo as their coach and their young defense should benefit. The drafted LB James Laurinitis, OT Jason Smith and signed FB Mike Karney, C Jason Brown, and S James Butler
Strenghs- Their RBs and O Line. They built their O Line to support the ground attck with S Jax and keep Bulger upright. Their defense is young and DL could created pressure with Long, Carriker, Smith, and Little and Witherspoon coming off the edge.
Weaknesses- LBers and WRs. They have a young group with no number one wideout and aside from Witherspoon there linebackers arent great.
Prediction- its a rough year but Spags keeps them competitive
