Now that the confetti has rained down on Super Bowl LI and the Patriots are owners of their fifth title, the NFL has fully entered off-season mode. And with the NFL combine, free agency and the NFL draft rapidly approaching, teams are laser-focused on where they need to restock and rebuild their roster.

Teams can hand out franchise or transition tags starting Feb. 15 until March 1 at 4 p.m., and then free agency opens on March 9 at 4 p.m. ET. And for gaps not fulfilled through free agency, teams will turn to the NFL draft on April 27–29 to flesh out their rosters.

What positions will each team be targeting in either free agency or the draft? Andy Benoit runs down the biggest team needs at the start of the 2017 off-season.
