From the most complete contenders to the most barren rosters in the league, here are the positions every team should be looking to fill this year.
On Monday, new Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett told SI’s Albert Breer what we’ve been hearing—and observing—silently behind the scenes for two years now. There is no longer such a thing as a “rebuild” or even a “build.” There is no more “time” when it comes to creating a roster and a culture. Sean McVay did it in a year. Owners believe the next guy can, too. It’s far easier to rifle through coaches making $4 million or $5 million a year (NFL salaries are coming back down to earth, by the way, despite a collegiate coaching salary boom) on four-year contracts than it is to sink a ton of resources into a true build—the manifestation of a culture or a coach’s idea of a team that may never come to fruition.
