ESPN had a 3 person panel rank the NFL teams on their 3 year future outlook. The rankings included everything from the roster, coaches, and front office. The 49ers came in at #13 in the rankings. They were 6 and 3 spots behind their NFC West rivals the Rams and the Seahawks respectively.
The Rams were ranked #7 and it is easy to see why. They have a young quarterback in Jared Goff, who progressed nicely last season. Todd Gurley looks to be a top running back, Aaron Donald is the top defensive player in the league, and Sean McVay looks to be a very good, young coach.
