The same goes for the Raiders. Sure, they added Adams but losing those picks doesn't help them replace their SLB or the 5 IDL they lost. They got nice pickups in Nichols and Jones but Jones is 32 so his best days may be behind him. Raiders may get better but they aren't anywhere near competing with KC yet, IMO.
The Broncos gave up a haul for Wilson, which doesn't help them fix all the holes in that defense. Yes, Wilson helps them win games, no doubt about it. Gregory is good when he's available, which isn't often. The same goes for Chubb. He had a great rookie year but hasn't been much since. The Broncos, honestly, worry me about as much as the Raiders in terms of real threat to the division.
To me it's still between KC and LA.
Veach is playing it smart and not overspending right out of the gate. There are plenty of good players that will be had for good deals yet.

Think it's fine to say you expect it to still be between KC and LA, but the upgrades for the others are significant. The Broncos don't have a ton of holes in their defence that i can see, and given everyone was saying "come back when you've got a QB" well, now they have. That was the major hole and difference.
There's a long way to go but there's a crazy amount of homers pretending like nothing has changed. This is now comfortably the toughest division and every game is going to be a slog. At this point every team has imprroved more than KC. It's going to be interesting to see who now comes in.
