Who did themselves the most favors in the draft, and who came up short when addressing their roster deficits? We started off with the NFC West a month ago,* jumped to the hyper-competitive AFC North , and then* moved to the NFC South , * NFC East and AFC South . Now, it's time to turn our attention to the AFC West. What did the* Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders, and San Diego Chargers to update their rosters with new blood? Greg also discusses the recent mega-deals given to Matt Forte and Ray Rice, and whether the feature back really is an endangered species in the NFL.

When I watched him on film, he was a guy I hadn't really heard much about, but I was not surprised that he was drafted in the second round. I think he's a very versatile player. Depending on your defensive front -- and now, most teams play multiple fronts -- he can play end and he can play tackle. He's a bigger guy than you think -- I think he's close to 300 pounds. And while I wouldn't say he's dynamically quick, he is quick. He's one of those multi-dimensional, versatile lineman who can help you in a lot of areas." On Kansas City Chiefs first-round DT Dontari Poe: "One's evaluation of Poe is dependent on one's world view. If you believe that production is the most important thing when you evaluate a player, then he may not be your guy. Because he may not make a lot of individual plays. But if you look at attributes for the position -- movement skills, athleticism, quickness of feet for a man that size -- then you look at this kid and you go, 'Wow -- that's pretty good.' This kid has everything you look for. That's why, leading up to the draft, he was all over the board." The Shutdown Corner Podcast: Greg Cosell on the AFC West rookies
