It might be a good time to try to land a solid college coach. As mentioned above, next years draft is said to be a very deep one. When Dallas built their dynasty of the 90's, is was not just the Herschel Walker trade itself(Vikings got robbed). It was the fact that dallas did not waste those picks(like the Pats did when they got all those picks from the jets for Parcells).
Jimmy Johnson came into that draft having the benefit of not only seeing the talent in the draft on film, but also having game planned for alot of them as coach of Miami. They scored in the draft and the rest is history.
Maybe trade away some of the older players, acquire some 3rd through 7th round picks, anything to get those extra picks. Even if you don't use the picks, you can make them more valuable. A 4th and 5th rounder can be a 3th and 4th next year, maybe packaged for a 2nd rounder next year. Maybe packaged to move up to the 3rd in this years draft.
The Patriots went into last years draft with 13 picks. They used 10 and came away with an extra 1st and 2nd rounder in next years draft. Sweet.
I know this would be rebuilding, but rebuilding does not have to mean losing. The Patriots won a superbowl while rebuilding.
