"&lt;p&gt;AFC West Five-Year Draft GradesDenver BroncosC If only the Broncos could draft running backs with every pick. Denver deserves major kudos for nabbing &lt;strong&gt;Clinton Portis&lt;/strong&gt; in the second round in 2002, and then two years later getting both cornerback &lt;strong&gt;Champ Bailey&lt;/strong&gt; and a second-round pick for him in a trade. There's also &lt;strong&gt;Mike Anderson&lt;/strong&gt; (2000, 6th round), &lt;strong&gt;Quentin Griffin&lt;/strong&gt; (2003, 4th round) and &lt;strong&gt;Tatum Bell&lt;/strong&gt; (2004, 2nd round). But at other positions, especially receiver, the results have been spotty. Kansas City ChiefsD Way too many swings and misses for the Arrowheads. A first-round pick for backup running back Larry Johnson in 2003? A third-rounder for receiver &lt;strong&gt;Marvin Minnis&lt;/strong&gt; in 2001 and a No. 1 for receiver &lt;strong&gt;Sylvester Morris&lt;/strong&gt; in 2000? Even defensive tackle &lt;strong&gt;Ryan Sims&lt;/strong&gt; (1st round, 2002) hasn't developed into the dominant force the Chiefs hoped for. On the plus side, linebacker &lt;strong&gt;Scott Fujita&lt;/strong&gt; was a steal in 2002's fifth round. Oakland RaidersC It's tough to grade a team willing to take a kicker -- &lt;strong&gt;Sebastian Janikowski&lt;/strong&gt; -- with its 2000 first-round pick. There have been some success stories, like seventh-round receiver &lt;strong&gt;Ronald Curry&lt;/strong&gt; in 2002, and fifth-round receiver &lt;strong&gt;Doug Gabriel&lt;/strong&gt; in 2003. But the top of the 2003 class has been a disappointment. The Raiders had five first-day picks, and haven't gotten much out of the likes of cornerback &lt;strong&gt; Nnamdi Asomugha&lt;/strong&gt;, defensive end &lt;strong&gt;Tyler Brayton&lt;/strong&gt;, tight end &lt;strong&gt;Teyo Johnson&lt;/strong&gt;  and running back &lt;strong&gt;Justin Fargas&lt;/strong&gt;.San Diego ChargersB+ Even Charger-haters would have to admit  the &lt;strong&gt;Eli Manning&lt;/strong&gt; trade looks like a beauty so far. San Diego got this year's No. 12 overall pick from the Giants, a fifth-rounder and quarterback &lt;strong&gt;Philip Rivers&lt;/strong&gt;, who might still emerge as the team's franchise arm. In 2001, San Diego dealt &lt;strong&gt;Micheal Vick&lt;/strong&gt;'s rights to Atlanta and came away with &lt;strong&gt;LaDainian Tomlinson&lt;/strong&gt;, two picks and &lt;strong&gt;Tim Dwight&lt;/strong&gt;. On the down side, cornerback &lt;strong&gt;Quentin Jammer&lt;/strong&gt; (1st, 2002) hasn't lived up to his No. 5-overall pick.
