Love Hicks. I think jnormand is right and people will start double-teaming him more. That's why I really liked the 4-man rush we did sometimes last year which was:

Hicks - Foster (or Walker) - Jordan - Galette

If you double Hicks, Foster/Walker gets a free run at the center with no help. That's a win. And you have no choice on Jordan, you have to double him, so that means Galette is singled up against a tight end. There's just no way to block everybody, unless you keep a tight end and a running back in to block. But that means you can only get 3 receivers out in the pattern and we can definitely cover 3 receivers with 5 guys. This is why I'm so excited about our defense and the scary thing is those defensive linemen are all still so young and they're going to get even better.

And I'm rambling now but the thing that makes our defense good is the same thing that makes the offense good. You can't just focus on 1 or 2 guys to stop because the other 2 or 3 lesser-known guys can still make you pay for it.
