The West War Room Rivals AFC West Draft is officially underway.

This week, the War Room turns into a full-blown AFC West fantasy draft as Cody, Austin, Cory, and Ethan begin building their ultimate rosters using ONLY players from the AFC West.

THE WAR ROOM AFC WEST DRAFT — ROUNDS 1–11

The rules are simple:

Each host makes one selection per round

Draft order is randomized

Once a player is drafted, he’s OFF the board

Any position can be selected at any time

ONLY players from the Raiders, Chiefs, Broncos, and Chargers are eligible

After 11 rounds, every host will have the foundation of their AFC West roster

Who goes No. 1 overall? How early do the quarterbacks come off the board? Do you build around elite offensive weapons, dominate the trenches, or start stacking defensive stars?

And most importantly…

Which host walks away with the BEST roster after 11 rounds?

The draft doesn't end here. Next week, we'll return to finish filling out each roster and see who truly constructed the strongest team in the War Room.

LEAGUE RECON

NFL preseason football is here, which means it's time to start putting some predictions on the record.

We're kicking off Part 1 of our Preseason Awards Series and making our picks for:

Offensive Rookie of the Year

Defensive Rookie of the Year

Comeback Player of the Year

Coach of the Year

Which rookies are ready to make an immediate impact? Who is positioned for a major comeback? And which head coach could lead his team to one of the NFL's biggest seasons?

The debates are only getting started.
