ESPN.com wraps up its examination of each AFC team's master plan with a look at the wild West, a place where Corey Dillon wouldn't mind calling home.

	New Broncos DE Lester Archambeau recorded 5.5 sacks for Atlanta in 1999.

Denver Broncos
1999 record: 6-10.
First-round pick: 10th overall.
Offseason plan: Critics wondered what exactly was Mike Shanahan's free agent strategy after TE Shannon Sharpe bolted for Baltimore. Now we know. Shanahan's plan was to upgrade the defense and open up the starting QB job again with a veteran arm. It remains to be seen if DEs Kavika Pittman and Lester Archambeau and SS Billy Jenkins are improvements, but Gus Frerotte will clearly get a chance to battle supposed QB of the future Brian Griese. Rumors of Denver's interest in Steve Young was met by San Francisco's warning to zip it or risk tampering charges. With all but one position set on offense, the Broncos will go into the draft seeking additional defensive help, particularly at LB.
Big-name acquisitions: SS Billy Jenkins and DEs Kavika Pittman and Lester Archambeau.
Significant re-signings: FB Howard Griffith and P Tom Rouen.
Most pressing question: What does the team's interest in Steve Young say about Brian Griese?
Sean Salisbury's answer: Any time you can get a Hall of Fame quarterback, you go get him. Young still has fresh legs. Young and Mike Shanahan have known each other a long time and have a great relationship. I don't think it would be a knock on Griese to get Young; it just gives the young quarterback another year to get ready. The Broncos would have loved to have John Elway around another year and continue to groom Griese. They would be crazy not to get Young.

Kansas City Chiefs
1999 record: 9-7.
First-round pick: 21st.
Offseason plan: The Chiefs were the early frontrunner for restricted free agent Corey Dillon, but the price tag on the Bengals RB (first- and third-round picks) has given them sticker shock. The rest of the free agent backs don't thrill GM Carl Peterson, who hopes to keep Kimble Anders. DT Tom Barndt, WR Joe Horn and SS Reggie Tongue all signed elsewhere, but Peterson has plans to plug in ex-Eagles DT Steve Martin and former reserve S Larry Atkins. Kansas City, still in the hunt for a WR, may also have to find a return specialist if Tamarick Vanover gets jail time for off-field incidents. LB Lewis Bush will help, but the draft is where K.C. will find a designated pass rusher to replace the late Derrick Thomas.
Big-name acquisitions: LB Lewis Bush and DT Steve Martin.
Significant re-signings: FS Jerome Woods.
Most pressing question: Will the Derrick Thomas tragedy have a lingering effect on the Chiefs?
Sean Salisbury's answer: It has to have a lingering effect, both on and off the field. Thomas was one of the great pass rushers with Hall of Fame sack numbers. The Chiefs will see the shrine in the locker room every day. Hopefully, they can feed off it and play how Thomas would want them to play if he were there. It depends on how the players handle it. If Thomas' death didn't have a lingering effect, then there would be something wrong in Kansas City.

Oakland Raiders
1999 record: 8-8.
First-round pick: 17th.
Offseason plan: The Raiders took care of some important re-signings before free agency even began, locking up LB Greg Biekert, WR Tim Brown and G Steve Wisniewski. CB Darrien Gordon was cut for cap purposes, then brought back. They've also added ex-Broncos nickel back Tory James and CB Je'Rod Cherry. Safety and linebacker are still areas of need, but Oakland may use its first-round pick on a wide receiver.
Big-name acquisitions: CB Tory James and DE Regan Upshaw.
Significant re-signings: LB Greg Biekert, WR Tim Brown and G Steve Wisniewski.
Most pressing question: Is this offseason a clear indication that Al Davis has allowed Jon Gruden to put his stamp on the team?
Sean Salisbury's answer: I believe he is running the show. I think Al Davis is letting Jon Gruden be the coach. Gruden has enough confidence to know that if Davis doesn't want him, somebody else does. That's a pretty good feeling to have. I think the Raiders will be a good football team next season, if they can keep their players in house. I like what the Raiders are doing.

San Diego Chargers
1999 record: 8-8.
First-round pick: None.
Offseason plan: Free agency didn't start out well for Bobby Beathard, who removed the franchise tag from DT Norman Hand and then couldn't match New Orleans' five-year, $20 million contract. The good news: Beathard used the team's $10 million under the cap to find his speed receiver and cornerback and re-sign some of his own free agents. WR Curtis Conway chose the Chargers over Oakland, while CB DeRon Jenkins left Baltimore's crowded secondary for a chance to start in San Diego. Conway will be reunited with Jeff Graham, a former Chicago teammate and one of the team's key re-signings that includes C Roman Fortin and OT Vaughn Parker. Second-year big back Jermaine Fazande will be the new featured runner now that Natrone Means has been released. Ready or not, Jamal Williams will take over for Hand.
Big-name acquisitions: WR Curtis Conway and CB DeRon Jenkins.
Significant re-signings: Long snapper David Binn, C Roman Fortin, WR Jeff Graham and OT Vaughn Parker.
Most pressing question: What is Ryan Leaf doing this offseason to become a better QB?
Sean Salisbury's answer: I spoke to his fiancee and the people around him say he is a model citizen. He is working hard. He is getting a boost from some of the other players. His fiancee said this is a make-or-break season for him, and he knows it. He is healthy and knows the Chargers want him to play. But he has to come into training camp and compete. He needs to get the confidence of his teammates and the organization. He can do that by taking a blue-collar approach, which is what he is doing.

Seattle Seahawks
1999 record: 9-7.
First-round picks: 19th and 22nd.
Offseason plan: Forget about Corey Dillon going home to Seattle. Mike Holmgren told a radio station that the unhappy Bengals RB would cost too much in terms of compensation and salary cap space. Before the Dillon rumors, the biggest news was Joey Galloway's trade to Dallas (which gave up two first-rounders for the WR) and the signing of ex-Chiefs SS Reggie Tongue (who'll take over for the departed Darryl Williams). The Seahawks' biggest draft needs are middle linebacker, guard and defensive tackle, but Holmgren may package the 19th and 22nd overall picks to move up, perhaps in a trade for Cincinnati's No. 4 overall pick.
Big-name acquisitions: SS Reggie Tongue.
Significant re-signings: WR Derrick Mayes and FB Mack Strong.
Most pressing question: How much of a steal was the Joey Galloway deal?
Sean Salisbury's answer: Talk to me after I find out who the Seahawks pick. Any time you lose a player like Galloway, you had better get something good in return. The Seahawks played most of last season without Galloway and got into the playoffs. If Mike Holmgren gets two first-rounders and turns them into players, I think the deal would be a win for both teams. I'm not sure it's a one-sided deal yet. We know who Galloway is. We don't know who the first-round picks are.
