Meanwhile, we are nearly finished when it comes to our views for the upcoming NFL season.

We have already taken a look at six divisions: The AFC East, AFC North and AFC South, as well as the NFC East, NFC North and NFC South. We have also previewed the Denver Broncos, Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs, Arizona Cardinals and San Diego Chargers.

Here we take a look at the San Francisco 49ers, who dropped to 8-8 this past season after three straight trips to the NFC title game, including an appearance in Super Bowl XLVII.
