## Resource

With the 2026 NFL Draft officially in the books, we look at how George Paton and Sean Payton’s haul compares to the rest of the AFC West. Today on the DNVR Draft podcast, we are handing out draft grades for every team in the division while identifying the best and worst picks from the Chiefs, Raiders, and Chargers. We take a look at the "Broncos Crossover" prospects too. The crew also moves round-by-round to name our favorite picks from across the division, highlighting the standout first-rounders and the hidden gems found on Day 3. How does the Broncos class with Jaylen Waddle stack up against the rest of the West? And why Chiefs 6th overall pick reminds Dre about Jahdae Barron. Join Jake Schwanitz, Henry Chisholm and Andre Simone all things on the Denver Broncos, college football and the NFL Draft.
