in terms of 5 year projection
Houston and Poe definitely project out with the highest potential ceilings. Which is why they should be featured. Houston as the #1 rushbacker, Poe at full snaps on the d-line rushing the passer and stopping the run.
Hali has to take a secondary role. We need to find and draft a young ILBer to groom ASAP in case one of the seasons we come out and DJ looks like he lost a step, which can happen at any time. One day that dude is going to wake up and find out he cant hit holes fast enough or cover the middle zone quick enough, and that's it. We need a guy that can step in, and it certainly is NOT Brandon ****ing Siler.
Flowers, though hobbled by any sort of ankle and shoulder injury can have a nice career in a decent zone scheme that doesnt rely on speed well into his 30s. Think guys like Ronde Barber, Carlos Rogers, etc.
Charles career will be saved/preserved by Reid's new WCO scheme. Even know though Daboll ran him into the ground this season like the scumbag Daboll is.
Essentially we need to get ready to replace one guy, Derrick Johnson. The rest still have plenty left in the tank and we already have Hali's replacement on the roster.
