4. Denver Broncos
The Denver Broncos made the playoffs in the first year of the Bo Nix Era, and they’ve successfully made the Year 2 leap in 2025. As of this posting, the team sits atop the loaded AFC West with an impressive 6-2 record and should consider itself a Super Bowl contender. Led by an elite defense and one of the best offensive lines in football, this team’s last glaring weakness is at the wide receiver position.
Courtland Sutton is a great player, and guys like Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims are valuable role players, but they could benefit from a Jakobi Meyers trade. Bo Nix is at his best when he’s utilizing the quick passing game, and the Raiders wideout excels at getting open quickly and moving the chains. While Nix and Meyers won’t make anyone forget about the Drew Brees-Michael Thomas connection, this duo should be a good fit for Sean Payton’s offense.
