We can't do that in one off-season, if ever. Some of these guys will need to stay for a couple more years.

CB - Norman
CB - Breeland
Slot CB - Fuller (I hope)
FS - Draft or FA
SS - Cravens
ILB - Foster
ILB - Steven Daniels, Draft, or FA
OLB - Kerrigan
OLB - Galette, Draft, or FA
DE - Baker
DE - Draft or FA
NT - Draft or FA

I stated "Now, I'm not saying all of these will actually happen, but I could see a lot of guys being replaced. Depending on how Fuller plays the last 5 games, we might also need a new slot CB."

So I agree, we're probably not going to have that many new starters. And Cravens could have been listed at MLB or SS, he will be a quality starter for us for years to come no matter where they put him. I just based it off how they are using him this year.

After 2 straight years of injuries, I don't think you can go into a season assuming you'll not only have Junior healthy, but that he will also be the same player, after not playing for 2 years.

I am interested to see how Daniels plays, he isn't a flash guy, but he led a great defense in college.

Galette is far from a given. I just think he'll be the first player they'll evaluate for that spot.
