Gonzo probably has 5 years left. If we can find a way to replace Roaf and Shields with quality starters our offense will still be top 5 in the league.
Our defense is young. All three of our starting LB's are young. Outside of hicks our whole defensive line is young. Knight and Surtain aren't spring chickens but we've got plenty of depth at S and our only real area of concern would be CB.
The only holes this team will have over the next 2 to 3 years will be Offensive line, CB, and WR...

I agree. We are actually in pretty good shape...much to my own surprise.
In the next 3 years we'll need a LT, a #1WR to replace Kennison, a young CB to replace Warfield, a DE to replace Hicks...and maybe, unfortunetly, a DT.
We also, of course, need a QBOTF or we'll have to roll the dice on another "Vet" like Green. Over 3 years that is all doable with smart drafts.
Bell and Surtain have 3+ years. DJ/Fujita/Fox have 3+ years. Wesley has 3+ years. LJ. Holcombe. Parker. Dante. Crap-ho. Wilson. Allen. Siavvi(??). Welbourne to replace Shields.
I realize CP doesn't like AS, but I hope AS gets the job. He isn't Vermeil. He is brilliant at using spare parts and scraps to whip the best defenses in the league. I'd like to keep that mind on our sideline. Gun can stay at DC and purge his shitty defensive coaches.
