AFC West Draft Needs

San Diego
1- Nose Tackle: Jamal Williams is now in Denver and San Diego is left without any real options at nose tackle. Arguably the most important position in the 34 defense, the NT gets the nod over RB for San Diego's #1 need.

2- Running Back: Darren Sproles is the only real back on the roster and he's more of a compliment then a feature guy.

3- Cornerback: Antoine Cason is set to slip into the starting lineup across from Quentin Jammer but there is no depth to speak of.

Denver
1- Center: Denver currently has no centers on the roster. For a team that usually sports a solid offensive line, getting a true difference maker at center will be a priority this draft.

2- Inside Linebacker: Andra Davis was released so the starting spot beside DJ Williams is wide open.

3- Wide Receiver: It is unlikely that Brandon Marshall comes back, but if he does I'd move another position such as NT, up to #3 on the list.

Oakland
1- Quarterback: JaMarcus Russell had all the potential in the world...too bad he's lazy, unmotivated, and out of shape. He's officially in the debate for biggest bust ever with Ryan Leaf.

2- Offensive Tackle: Whoever the QB is this year for Oakland, they'll need a solid blindside protector.

3- Wide Receiver: You may see other people list DT, DE, LB, or even CB ahead of WR on the Raiders list of needs... Id disagree. The passing game is what killed the Raiders last year. Their WR play was pretty awful. They need more reliable options at wideout.

Kansas City
1- Inside Linebacker: Their ILB play last year was abysmal. They need more bodies in the middle.

2- Safety: Jon McGraw and DaJuan Morgan? Are you kidding me?

3- Offensive Line: Brandon Albert has been serviceable at LT but the interior OL is really bad. A true LT to kick Albert inside or to RT could work wonders for this offense.
