The AFC just got a little more tough

[Nicomo Cosca]

Denver basically has no 1st or 2nd round picks for the next decade now. That is only sustainable if your team was already super close (like the Rams before trading for Stafford, Miller, and Ramsey). Denver has a pretty good defense, but that’s about it. Russ looks absolutely washed, and they’re in a division with Mahomes and Herbert. I don’t see them as a threat even with Payton.
