The NFC West was the toughest division in the league last season, hands down. The balance of power has shifted towards the AFC though, in no small part thanks to the trade that sent Russell Wilson from the Seahawks to the Broncos.
In a new list by Adam Schein at NFL.com, the quartet of projected starters in the AFC West – including Wilson – has been ranked the best in the league. That should come as a surprise to exactly nobody. Derek Carr is the worst of this bunch and we have him ranked No. 15 in the NFL going into this coming season.
As for Wilson’s former division, Schein has them ranked third overall after the AFC North group. Here’s what he had to say about each of them.
