We are in the final stretch of the NFL offseason as the Arizona Cardinals open training camp on July 22. Leading up to then, as we have for several offseasons, go through the players and position groups in the NFC West and rank them.
Next up, we look at the starting right guards for the Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks and rank them.

1. Kevin Dotson, Los Angeles Rams
Dotson is the easy choice here. He was fantastic in 2023 and earned a massive contract worth $48 million over three seasons. He missed one game, sitting out the Rams’ Week 18 in which they rested many starters. This was an easy call.
2. Dominick Puni, San Francisco 49ers
Puni was a very good find for the Niners last season, securing the right guard starting job as a rookie. He was a third-round draft pick, started every game and played every snap of the season.
3. Isaiah Adams, Arizona Cardinals
Adams was another third-round pick in the division but only started five games down the stretch after Will Hernandez tore his ACL and Trystan Colon played poorly enough that Adams deserved a shot. While he struggled, he did start five games, which is better than the last-place guy in the division.

4. Christian Haynes, Seattle Seahawks
Haynes was another 2024 third-round pick. He played in 16 games but had no starts and 167 total snaps on offense, while Adams played over 400. Until he proves otherwise, he falls in last place here.
