With the 2023 NFL Draft officially in the books and the bulk of free agents having re-signed with their current team or signed elsewhere, fans and pundits can start evaluating teams around the league on paper.
Although there will almost certainly be some talented teams in the NFC, like the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers, the AFC is, without a doubt, the more talented conference with plenty of teams in the Super Bowl title-contending conversation.
On Fox Sports’ Speak, Emmanuel Acho shared his thoughts on which five teams he believes will be the best in the AFC and came up with a solid list of candidates.

As the reigning Super Bowl champions, it is no surprise that the Kansas City Chiefs make Acho’s list, with Patrick Mahomes back in the fold and this team always a threat with Andy Reid calling the shots on the sideline.
Then he goes with an interesting and controversial pick of the Miami Dolphins, who are coming off a better-than-expected season, but will always have a question mark at quarterback with Tua Tagovailoa under center.
At No. 3, Acho goes with the Cincinnati Bengals, a team that gets better and better with every passing season, with Joe Burrow under center.
The Baltimore Ravens come in at No. 4, which would’ve been a disastrous pick a few weeks ago, but now makes a lot of sense with the return of Lamar Jackson and the additions of wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Zay Flowers.
Finally, Acho goes with the team that has made the most noise this NFL offseason, the New York Jets.
If Rodgers can still play at an MVP level, the Jets will be tough to beat in 2023.
