AFC West Draft Breakdown — Coleman's Star Potential, Mendoza's Rise & Chiefs/Chargers Outlook

In This Episode: Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom turn their attention to the AFC West as they break down how the 2026 NFL Draft reshaped one of the league's most competitive divisions. Did the Denver Broncos land a future star in RB Jonah Coleman, a back Cecil believes could become the centerpiece of Sean Payton's offense. Over in Las Vegas, the Raiders hit the reset button with Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick — but can he finally give them the franchise quarterback they've been chasing for two decades.

The Kansas City Chiefs made calculated moves to rebound from a down year, but did they add enough immediate impact to reclaim control of the division. And the Los Angeles Chargers quietly built a class that could pay off sooner than people think — but will it be enough to keep pace with the AFC West arms race.
