## Resource

The Las Vegas Raiders, with the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, are poised for a dramatic turnaround after finishing with the league’s worst record. While the AFC West remains stacked—with the aging but still dominant Chiefs, the explosive Broncos led by Bo Nix and Jaylen Waddle, and the elite Chargers anchored by Justin Herbert—they’re suddenly a young, hungry team under new coach Klint Kubiak. With Denver’s defense and offense firing on all cylinders, and the Chargers’ defense still menacing, Vegas may not win the division—but they’re expected to be the most competitive they’ve been in years, closing the gap on the division’s heavyweights.
