2016 NFL Draft: 5 Teams That Need to Use the Draft to Rebuild

With the NFL draft quickly approaching, several teams will have an opportunity to rebuild after being largely inactive on the free-agent market.

Some teams are a few years away from being true Super Bowl contenders, but they can utilize the draft to begin rebuilding. Others are contenders at the moment and simply need to plug a few holes that were created in free agency.

The first category includes teams such as the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns. Neither team should reasonably contend for a playoff spot next season, but a strong draft can give fans optimism for 2017 and beyond.
