Neither does Smoot who played well again after his injury. Neither is Hamilton, but he had a debilitating illness that cost him the season. We need A defensive tackle who can push the pocket and A defensive tackle who can eat double teams and stop the run. Both can be had this offseason between free agency and the draft.

It seems like we have a lot of needs this offseason.   Corner, DT, C, OG, WR.  We need first-rate talent at all of those positions.  It seems unlikely we will get all of those filled in one offseason.   That's why I would make it a 2-year rebuild, with emphasis on fixing OL this offseason.

It's a shorter list than it has been for most of the last 20 years. 

And even average starter level players on that interior OL would be an improvement that equates to more wins IMO.
There are several such players hitting free agency. 

Addressing 2 positions in free agency and 3 in the draft is a pretty big handful, but it isn't impossible. 

Thankfully we don't need a QB after decades of needing one and the need at WR is less dire than it has ben in many, many years as well.
