AFC West Preview: Chargers Look To Win Yet Another Division Crown

Chargers 11-5 Best off-season pick up: Larry English

With Merriman back this defense will dominate. Last year Shaun Phillips had break out year and with Merriman coming back expected bigger numbers from Phillips. Also this defense will have to rely on a good Antonio Cromartie who had down year last year; he needs to get back to his 07' form for this team to successful. On the offensive side of the ball it would be interesting to see how LT performs this year. Coming off a groin injury at age 30 can be tough. We'll see how he performs. This team has a good mix of veteran talent as well as young talent. The Chargers are going to be better this season.

Broncos 7-9 Best off-season pick up: Brian Dawkins

With the addition of Brian Dawkins, this defense gets a motivated leader. But on the downside the move makes that secondary older with Champ Bailey and Andre Goodman. On the offensive side of the ball. They need Knowshon Moreno to be an impact to help this success of this team. The downgrade in my opinion for Kyle Orton will hurt this team; he is not as good as Cutler in arm strength and accuracy. In the end of the season the Broncos will realize this was a bad move. When he blows a game or two down the stretch.

Raiders 5-11 best off-season pick up: Jeff Garcia

The Raiders getting Jeff Garcia will help in the long term, I think the move give Jamarcus Russell motivation to be the best he can be and have a breakout year. But this team as allot of holes. They need a good year from Heyward-Bey and Mike Mitchell the safety. After the failed experiment with DeAngelo Hall. They need more production from that O-line which as struggle these past few years. This team has a lot of youngsters and in rebuilding mode. The Raiders will continue to struggle.

Chiefs 3-13: Best Off-season pick up: Matt Cassel

System product or a good QB, this is the question that Matt Cassel as to answer this year as he try to lead the Chiefs to winning ways. But it won't happen this year they don't have much weapons on the offensive side of the ball. Their defense is young and has no big name talent. This team won't do much this year, but they got some Key guys for 3-5 years down the road.
