This is the third consecutive offseason that someone other than the Kansas City Chiefs is expected to be the head of the class in the AFC West. Every new draft and free agent signing period brings renewed hope (and predictions) of supremacy for the Oakland Raiders, Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers. So far, the Chiefs have done well to put those away by dominating their rivals over the last few years.
This year, the Chargers are earning rave reviews for their offseason plan, especially after a draft class that makes their defense appear to be an elite unit—at least on paper.
