The Denver Broncos have made a significant leap in Nate Davis's latest NFL power rankings, landing at 13th place following the 2025 NFL draft. This marks a notable improvement from their previous ranking of 17th. The potential turnaround of the Broncos can be attributed to the influence of head coach Sean Payton and the promising performance of quarterback Bo Nix. Additionally, the addition of first-round draft pick Jahdae Barron is expected to bolster an already elite defense.

In the broader context of the AFC West, the Kansas City Chiefs maintain a strong position at No. 4, with the Los Angeles Chargers at No. 11, and the Las Vegas Raiders lagging behind at No. 21. The Philadelphia Eagles, as the reigning champions, top the rankings at No. 1, while the New Orleans Saints sit at the bottom at No. 32.
