Continuing with our series, we take a look at the AFC West and what each team did in the draft last weekend. This division was dominated by the Denver Broncos, who ran off 11 consecutive wins to end the 2012 regular season, but has seen an infusion of talent added to it in the offseason. 

The Kansas City Chiefs, who owned the No. 1 overall pick, added Alex Smith from San Francisco in a trade earlier this offseason. They also added important veteran cogs at wide receiver and in the defensive backfield. Meanwhile, Reggie McKenzie cut the fat off the Oakland Raiders roster and is attempting to rebuild through the draft. 

The Norv Turner era finally came to an end after another disappointing season in Southern California. The San Diego Chargers now look to move forward with new head coach Mike McCoy. 

Lets take a look at what each team did in the recent NFL Draft. 

You have to wonder exactly what John Elway and Co. were doing during the draft. While I love what Sylvester Williams brings to the table and his story was probably the best of any prospect, he was a reach at the end of the first round. Denver still had the likes of Cornellius Carradine and Johnathan Hankins both on the board. The overwhelming belief was that Denver was going defensive line in the draft, but it just didn't acquire the necessary value to warrant a top-tier grade there. 

Reaching for Montee Ball was probably one of the most questionable decisions in the entire draft. The Wisconsin product wasn't anywhere near a second-round prospect and went before much better running backs. I still don't have a clue why Denver selected him in the second when he would have likely been available in the third. Heck, Eddie Lacy and Johnathan Franklin were taken a full round and two after Ball. 

Kayvon Webster in the third was another head scratcher. I had a late seventh-round grade on the defensive back. In addition, Denver had ample options out there that represented much better value at this need position. What about Will Davis, Sanders Commings, Jordan Poyer and Terry Hawthorne? Wouldn't Denver have been better off if it went with either Robert Alford or Logan Ryan in the second and then Ball in the third? Hindsight is 20-20, but Elway's position jockeying during the early rounds of the draft left a lot to be desired. 

The rest of Denver's draft was pretty much "meh." Quanteres Smith is an intriguing pass-rush prospect from Western Kentucky. If he can remain healthy and refine his pass-rush moves, that could be a real steal. Outside of that, nothing really stands out as too solid for the Broncos. Zac Dysert may have represented value in the seventh, but was there really a need at quarterback with Brock Osweiler considered the heir apparent to Peyton Manning?  Overall Grade: C (72.9 percent) 

You have to factor in the Alex Smith trade when it comes to grading what Kansas City did during the draft. Giving up a second-round pick in 2013 and likely another second-round pick in 2014 may be a high price to pay for Smith, but at 28-years-old (29 tomorrow), Smith is still in his prime and is coming off two stellar campaigns. He represents a major upgrade over what Kansas City has had at quarterback over the last five-plus seasons. That trade nets the Chiefs a B+ grade. 

In the weeks leading up to the draft, I indicated Eric Fisher would be Kansas City's selection with the first pick. This started to gain traction the closer we got to the draft. Considering that I had Fisher as the top overall prospect in the draft, this was a solid value pick. Kansas City likely looked at trade-down scenarios in the weeks leading up to the draft, but didn't find anything to its liking. Instead, it fortified an already solid offensive line. Fisher will come in and play right tackle, while Branden Albert holds down the blindside. All said, this was a pick that needed to be made. 

Travis Kelce in the third round represented both value and need. He gives Smith another receiving option between the hashes, something that the veteran quarterback needs to be successful. Character concerns aside, Kelce represented early second-round value. The selection of Knile Davis in the third round left a lot to be desired. The Arkansas product wasn't even on my radar at this point in the draft. In addition, selecting him ahead of Johnathan Franklin, Marcus Lattimore and Stepfan Taylor was questionable. 

Nico Johnson was a team leader on one of the best defenses in college football at Alabama. While he doesn't necessarily standout on tape, the Crimson Tide prospect is a solid overall linebacker. Johnson will eventually take over for Akeem Jordan at left inside linebacker next to Derrick Johnson. Can't argue with getting a starter-caliber player in the mid rounds. Sanders Commings is likely going to play multiple roles in the defensive secondary. He can play in the slot at corner and take over as a nickel safety. Moving forward, I project the Georgia project as more of a free safety. Either way, Kansas City got solid value at a need position there. Overall, the Chiefs did a darn solid job during the draft.  Overall Grade: B+ (88.2 percent) 

Reggie McKenzie's second draft with Oakland started off a bit rocky. He traded out of the No. 3 slot only to select D.J.  Hayden at 12th overall. He did so with Sharrif Floyd, Desmond Trufant and Xavier Rhodes on the board. While I won't go on the record saying that Hayden will be a bust, he was a reach in the top 15. Oakland did, however, pick up a second-round pick in the deal and took a high upside offensive tackle in the form of Menelik Watson from Florida State. There were some who had a first-round grade on the talented youngster and he filled a need. 

The Sio Moore selection in the third was one of my favorite picks of Day Two. The UCONN product is about as sure fire of a player a team can hope to get in the mid rounds. He is a sideline-to-sideline performer that should actually push Kevin Burnett for the starting weak-side linebacker job. 

Moving forward, Oakland seemed to pick up value with the majority of its selections in the mid-to-late rounds. It needed to get a couple decent tight end prospects and picked up two of the best under-the-radar prospects at that position. Nick Kasa and Mychal Rivera in the sixth represented some of the better value in the later rounds. They bring something different to the table and should be immediate producers as rookies. 

Speaking of under the radar, I absolutely loved the selection of David Bass in the seventh round. The small-school pass rusher might fit better in a 3-4 scheme, but has the necessary skills to beat blockers on the outside. He might be the real steal of the draft for Oakland. Overall, the Raiders had another solid draft under McKenzie, who seems to be righting the ship with the previously downtrodden organization.  Overall Grade: B+ (85.4 percent) 

No one really discussed the San Diego Chargers when it came to winners of the draft. That being said, they quietly had a solid draft from top to bottom. D.J. Fluker may never be a blindside protector for Philip Rivers, but he can be utilized in multiple roles along the offensive line and is one of the best run blockers in the entire draft. Look for him to excel at either right tackle or guard moving forward. 

Most of my readers already know my thoughts on one Manti Te'o. He is going to be a stud linebacker in the National Football League for the next decade and should have gone in the first round. For San Diego to nab him in the second was an absolutely steal. It gives the Chargers their first stellar linebacker to build with since the late-great Junior Seau left for South Beach. How can you not like that pick? 

Acquiring Keenan Allen in the third was highway robbery. It's kinda like the Chargers took I-5 and made it their own personal Bonnie & Clyde scene. Early in the draft process, Allen was considered the top wide receiver. An unfortunate series of injuries coupled with a questionable drug test at the combine caused his draft stock to drop a great deal. Some league execs I have spoken with actually believe he is the best receiver in the class, which is insane. These three picks alone gives San Diego one of the best classes in the conference. While the rest of its draft was mediocre, I absolutely love what San Diego did early on. Look for those three players to contribute immediately.  Overall Grade: B+ (87.9 percent)
