NFC Notes: 49ers, Kyler Murray, Cardinals, Seahawks

49ers

• Per the Athletic’s Matt Barrows, the 49ers are one of several teams believed to be highly interested in adding a kicker this offseason. 
• San Francisco has worked out Michigan K Jake Moody and Maryland K Chad Ryland, the consensus top two kickers in this class and prospects viewed as potential mid-round picks. The 49ers also worked out Auburn K Anders Carlson.
• The team traded for Panthers K Zane Gonzalez but 49ers GM John Lynch indicated they might not be done and would look to add some competition: “We liked (Gonzalez). Our special teams coaches have liked him. We’re excited to get a talented kicker. We’ll see whether we add competition. He’s been a guy in this league. He’s got a big leg, and our guys are excited to work with him.”
• Ryan Fowler reports Louisville EDGE YaYa Diaby has a top-30 visit scheduled with the 49ers.
• Aaron Wilson reports that the 49ers are hosting Western Michigan S Delano Ware at their local prospect day.

Cardinals

• Former Cardinals GM Steve Keim is confident QB Kyler Murray will continue to improve based on his study habits: “Does he know what Peyton Manning and Tom Brady knows what it takes to be great? No. Does he work? He does work. I think it’s just that side of the game – the film study, the attention to detail part – that he can continue to improve upon and I think he will,” via Bob McManaman.
• Keim reiterated he thinks Murray’s best football is ahead of him: “Kyler’s a proud guy, man. He doesn’t want to lose, and he doesn’t want to let people down. I think his best ball’s ahead of him.” (McManaman)
