2014 NFL Draft: Around the NFC West

May 9, 2014, 5:54 AM | Updated: 4:18 pm

The 2013 season was a banner year for the NFC West. The division had a seven-win team (St. Louis Rams), three squads with at least 10 victories (Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks), two participants in the NFC Championship Game (49ers and Seahawks) and one Super Bowl champion (Seahawks).

Thursday, the division’s four teams turned their collective eye towards the future, making four of the first 32 selections in the 2014 NFL Draft.

Here’s how the night panned out for each team:
