Hill is pretty deadly out of the backfield/screen game too but does seem to take away his main appeal

It's still KC's division to lose. They may not replace Hill with the same caliber of WR but the offense is far from lacking even without him. I'm actually more concerned about them patching up the defensive side of the ball even with the loss of Hill.
It's still this pecking order for now in the AFC West unless anyone makes any more huge moves
1. KC
2. Chargers
3. Broncos (and with Wilson now they are nipping on the heels of both KC and Chargers because their Defense was never an issue)
4. Raiders
It's a stacked division where a big injury could alter any of their seasons. It's actually really close from top to bottom who has the best roster right now with the Raiders adding Adams too.
I would almost put the Raiders in 3rd and the Broncos fourth. Many of the young guys surrounding Wilson are still a bit unproven, but loaded with potential.

Considering the deals that guys like Christian Kirk and Davante Adams recently signed, the benchmark is going to continue to be set with these deals. That's the way of things.
Yeah, really at the moment I could put the Chiefs and Chargers 1a and 1b then a toss up between the Broncos and Raiders. The Broncos have some talent at RB and WR and have had terrible QB play ever since Manning retired but the defensive side has stayed pretty solid throughout. Wilson could take that group to another level. Raiders on paper have looked talented at times but always seem to be a mess that never can gel and put it together on the field consistently.
The funny thing is you take any team in the AFC West and put them in a lot of the other divisions on the NFL right now and there aren't many you could say they wouldn't have a good shot of winning if they had to go against teams in that division twice a year.
Trade was a massive win for both teams.
Dolphins have, for years, lacked a #2, 3, or even 4 receiver that can stay healthy.
Waddle/Hill/Wilson/Mostert/Edmonds are tough individually to handle in single coverage.
This also allows more 1 on 1 for Gesicki, who I think would be just as good as Kelce statistically if he hasn’t played in an inept offense and been double his entire career.
The Tua can’t throw stuff is about as trollish as can be. Deep passes and pin point accuracy we’re not an issue at Alabama. His short passing game in 2020/21 was due to having the worst passing offensive line in the history of the NFL. He now has a strong left side, but his blind side will still be pretty weak.

Additionally, my belief is the Dolphins have put Tua in a situation where he has the tools to have all the success in the world around him.
If he fails, they have 2 first round picks next year to play with and find a better QB and still return that insanely talented offense

That's a lot to give up for a receiver, especially in a receiver heavy draft.
Agree, but with 5 first round picks the last 2 years and 2 more next year, it’s not that bad.

Did any NFC teams get better to this point? Seems like all of the big acquisitions have been in the AFC. NFC has lost some serious talent.

The Rams added Allen Robinson. They've got almost everyone else back from a Superbowl winning team. The 49ers will return basically everyone as well. Those were the teams that met in the conference championship.
Green Bay will still be good without Adams, but maybe not quite as good
The Bucs brought Brady back, but lost a little on their o line and one of their receivers
Cowboys lost a wide receiver and some peices on defense but should still be the best team in the East.
Arizona lost Kirk, but are returning most others.
There are still some talented teams in the NFC, but on paper it certainly looks like the AFC is a lot stronger
Agreed but a lot of those examples are retaining talent, not adding. Exception being the Rams but they lost Woods. Robinson is an upgrade but not sure much of one. NFC certainly still has some talented teams but AFC has many, many more. On paper. At this point.

Sorry, let me clarify. I wasn't trying to refute your point about the NFC teams not adding much compared to the AFC. I agree with you. I was just providing context for how the better teams in the NFC are pretty much treading water.
The rumor mill will be going on this....... I pray it doesn't. Otherwise my new favorite team will be my fantasy team!

Based on Dan Campbell's opening press conference as head coach, he seemed like an "interesting" guy. Might be a good fit for hard knocks.
