2017 NFL Power Rankings: Los Angeles Rams Enter Offseason Near Bottom

31. San Francisco 49ers

As if losing the Super Bowl to the New England Patriots wasn’t already tough to process, Kyle Shanahan now faces the challenge of turning around a terrible team in the San Francisco 49ers coming off a 2016 season in which they only won two games. To top it off, both of those wins happened to come against the Los Angeles Rams, which means the 49ers have plenty of areas in need of improvement heading into 2017.

Shanahan has been waiting a long time for an opportunity at a head-coaching job, and after seeing the type of success displayed with running Matt Ryan and the Falcons’ offense this past season, it’s easy to see why San Francisco wanted to bring him on board. Even if the 49ers seem to be a few years away from being contenders, Shanahan realizes the team needs to start somewhere, mainly the quarterback position.

Colin Kaepernick proved this year he’s far from the answer for this team at quarterback since he’s nowhere close to being at the elite level he was at a few years ago. This year’s draft class has plenty of potential talent at the quarterback position, and don’t be surprised if Shanahan strongly considers using their first-round pick on one.
