AFC West Rankings

The AFC West has been a two team division for the past years. The San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos will again be the teams to beat but Oakland and Kansas City have made steps in the right direction and look ready to compete in the division.

1. San Diego Chargers. This team is one step away from becoming the league’s top 3 teams. It will be a big blow to the team if receiver Vincent Jackson leaves but with Philip Rivers competitiveness he can still make it work. The Chargers’ first round pick Ryan Matthews has looked impressive in preseason games. If he is indeed the real deal the Chargers should find themselves in the AFC Championship game.

2. Denver Broncos. With all the Tim Tebow media attention, fans aren’t noticing how good of a preseason Kyle Orton is having. Orton has thrown accurately in recent games and his focus has never been this great. Corner Champ Bailey is still one of the elite defensive backs in the league despite being 32-years-old. If their defense holds up in the second half of the season, they’ll be a dangerous team.

3. Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs are going through a RB situation with Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles battling for the no. 1 spot. The team can’t decide which player to go with. Matt Cassel needs to prove himself this year.

4. Oakland Raiders. The Raiders organization finally hit their heads hard and released DeMarcus Russell in the offseason. But that didn’t solve their problem at QB because is Jason Campbell really any better than Bruce Gradkowski?
