A QUARTERBACK Driven League...2012 Draft Report...AFC West Edition...CHIEFS #11...BOLTS #18...ORANGE Crush #25...SILVER & BLACK No 1st Round Pick in 2012

How the West was won as in the 2012 NFL Draft and there is a new sheriff in town and he plays for the Denver Broncos....Peyton Manning.

The Chiefs pick at #11 and they have Interior Offensive Line issues as they need a Corner opposite of Pro Bowler Brandon Flowers. The Bolts have more issues as they thought they addressed their Pass Rushing with NIU's OLB Larry English a few years ago but he hasn't played at all.

The Broncos need a Interior Offensive lineman as well and they also need a another WR to go with Thomas and Decker. The Silver and Black have no 1st round pick in 2012 from the Carson Palmer Deal last season and the Bengals have the #17 as well as their #21 pick in the 1st round.

The BLUEDUDE'S Projections of Picks and possible Trades in the AFC West is sponsored by the AFC West is now going Prime time thanks to the Orange Crush picking up QB Peyton Manning:

CHIEFS ( 7-9 in 2011): They pick at #11 will select 3 positions..OG/C...DT....or Corner. They have Stanford's David DeCastro right here or Memphis' Dontari Poe or Mississippi State's Fletcher Cox. They really have no the Dyer needs outside of these positions.

BOLTS ( 8-8 in 2011): They also need a Pass Rusher or Safety Help at #18. ND Safety Harrison Smith would be ideal here or even Illinois' Mercilus or USC's Nick Perry. They nedd to get to the QB to take pressure off of the back end.

ORANGE CRUSH ( 8-8 in 2011): They get Manning and they have Thomas and Decker on the outside. Up front they need a OG/C in Stanford's David DeCastro or UW Madison Peter Konz. The other name that is flying up draft boards is Baylor WR Kendall Wright but protecting #18 should and will be 1st priority.

SILVER and BLACK ( 8-8 in 2011): Carson Palmer Trade last last season so their #17 pick goes to the Bengals.

Looking at how the division went last season it would be safe to say that the Broncos have all the makings of getting into Winning Time with #18. The Raiders not to be out done have just as much talent as anyone in the West but can they put it together? Chiefs need a plan Offensively and Cassell regressed last season and that is not a good thing.
