The AFC West is full of some star players. What one player would we take from each team to add to the Denver Broncos?

The AFC West has been dominated by the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs over the last decade.

It has been that long since the Los Angeles Chargers won the division. The (then) Oakland Raiders have not won the division since their Super Bowl loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Many great players have passed through the division over that time period, from Peyton Manning, Rod Smith, C.J. Anderson, Champ Bailey and John Lynch for the Broncos, to players such as Drew Brees, LaDanian Tomlinson, and Junior Seau on the Chargers; Tony Gonzalez, Tamba Hali, and Justin Houston on the Chiefs; and Nnamdi Asomugha, Charles Woodson, and Khalil Mack on the Raiders.

None of those players are on any of the four AFC West teams anymore. They are all either retired (most of them), or on another team (Khalil Mack on the Bears, Justin Houston on the Colts).

But all four teams have players that we would want. Here is one player from each divisional rival of the Broncos that we would want to have in Denver.
