ESPN’s NFC West reporters weigh in on which team in the division helped itself the most in the draft. Each team’s draft class is below its reporter’s analysis.

Josh Weinfuss, Arizona Cardinals reporter: The San Francisco 49ers needed to help themselves the most in this year’s draft and they did just that with 10 picks, including two top defensive players in the first round. Defensive tackle Solomon Thomas out of Stanford was one of the best players in this year’s class, and they were able to grab him even after trading back one spot. By drafting inside linebacker Reuben Foster from Alabama with the 31st pick, the Niners got one of the toughest players in the draft. They also gave new coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch a set of fresh faces to start molding their team around.

Alden Gonzalez, Los Angeles Rams reporter: Without question, it was the rebuilding 49ers, who added additional draft capital and wound up selecting two premier defensive players in the first round. Their trade with the Bears -- which saw them gain the 67th and 111th overall picks, plus a 2018 third-round pick, by simply moving back from No. 2 to No. 3 -- was straight up highway robbery. That is without considering the fact that the Niners ended up with the player they wanted all along in Thomas. Using that 111th pick and their 34th pick to move up and take Foster at No. 31 was a savvy move, as well. They also sufficiently addressed needs at cornerback (Ahkello Witherspoon in the third round) and running back (Joe Williams in the fourth). Not bad for a rookie general manager and head coach.

Nick Wagoner, San Francisco 49ers reporter: The team that helped itself the most in this draft is the one that also needed the most help, the San Francisco 49ers. In part because they were in such need of talent at many positions that they could freely draft the best players available, the Niners mostly just kept taking the best player on their board throughout the draft and an argument could be made they landed the two best players -- Thomas and Foster -- of any team in the division. Arizona did well, also, but the Niners balanced landing talent with planning for the future better than most could have imagined from a first-year coach and general manager.

Sheil Kapadia, Seattle Seahawks reporter: The Arizona Cardinals. Their first two picks could be difference-makers from Day 1. Haason Reddick gives the Cardinals yet another edge rusher who possesses the elite physical traits to eventually line up in multiple spots on Arizona’s defense. Safety Budda Baker brings additional versatility to a talented secondary and has the competitive makeup that Cardinals fans will love. The clock is ticking on Carson Palmer and Bruce Arians, but the Cardinals drafted high-upside players who are capable of contributing immediately and have the ability to become cornerstones down the road.
