​The Seattle Seahawks’ offensive line showed significant growth in 2025, a development that proved pivotal in their march to Super Bowl 60. As we look ahead to the 2026 NFL season, we have evaluated and ranked the four offensive lines in the NFC West from top to bottom. The Seahawks’ line was a genuine asset last year, and the mix remains intact with all five starters returning for 2026. Headed by position coach John Benton, the unit will continue to benefit from continuity, even as offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak departed to take a job with the Las Vegas Raiders. The projected starting five, from left to right, features Charles Cross, Grey Zabel, Jalen Sundell, Anthony Bradford, and Abe Lucas, a group that should again form a sturdy front to protect the quarterback and open lanes for the running game.
Meanwhile, across the division, the San Francisco 49ers bring back an elite left tackle in Trent Williams after a dispute over his contract was resolved. Dominick Puni has already secured a new contract, and Colton McKivitz provides a reliable option at right tackle, giving Brock Purdy and Christian McCaffrey a well-balanced unit to work behind. The 49ers’ offensive line has the potential to be one of the strongest groups in the league, aided by experienced players who know how to execute in high-pressure situations.
In Los Angeles, the Rams boast two high-caliber guards in Steve Avila and Kevin Dotson, which strengthens the interior but leaves the tackle positions in question with Alaric Jackson and Warren McClendon Jr. competing for starting duties. While the Rams remain a complete roster with strengths on many fronts, questions at tackle could impact their overall balance and protection schemes.
The Arizona Cardinals are seeing incremental improvements up front, with Paris Johnson Jr. emerging as a franchise left tackle and the selection of starting right guard Chase Bisontis in the early second round signaling a commitment to long-term development. Even with these positive strides, the unit is still in the process of rebuilding, awaiting continued refinement and youth development to compete with the league’s top lines.
This evaluation reflects a broader view of how each team’s offensive line positions them for the upcoming season, taking into account continuity, talent, and potential growth. The Seahawks’ return-to-form up front gives them a strong baseline, while the Niners appear poised to maintain an elite unit. The Rams’ interior versatility could translate into high performance if the tackles can solidify, and the Cardinals’ ongoing rebuild suggests a longer arc before they reach the upper echelon of the division’s lines.
