Joined by ESPN's Nate Taylor, this discussion covers every team's strengths and weaknesses for the upcoming season:
* Kansas City Chiefs: An in-depth look at the ‘efficiency monster’ and their biggest concerns, including the left tackle position, the offense managing without Rasheed Rice, and if the defense can continue its dominant play.
* Denver Broncos: Exploring if their elite defense is enough to carry them. The offense is a primary concern, with a focus on how new additions like J.K. Dobbins and Evan Ingram can help rookie quarterback Bo Nix succeed.
* Los Angeles Chargers: With Jim Harbaugh implementing a ‘punch you in the mouth’ offensive style, can Justin Herbert and a rebuilt roster overcome defensive question marks to make a playoff push?
* Las Vegas Raiders: Under new head coach Pete Carroll, the Raiders look ‘competent.’ An analysis of how quarterback Geno Smith and rookie tight end Brock Bowers will perform and whether the team has a hard ceiling due to its secondary.
