Each offseason, ESPN releases something they call “future” power rankings, and it should be no surprise the San Francisco 49ers have made a major move up compared to a year ago.
Mike Sando, Field Yates, and Louis Riddick go through all 32 teams and using a scale of 40-100, rate their quarterback position, roster excluding quarterbacks, draft performance, front office, and coaching staff. They average those results and weight them to come up with a final score. The weighting is roster (30 percent), quarterback (20 percent), draft (15 percent), front office (15 percent) and coaching (20 percent).
