One issue I have is that you don't have your best players on the football field. Why would you take out Hicks or Bunkley (and I'm talking base here) and put in Walker? I think we are trying to pigeon hole Hicks and I think that's exactly what we don't want to do. I think he can play the 1-tech, 3-tech, or DE in a 3-4. I wouldn't look where he played this past season and use that as indication where he will play this upcoming season.. A good example would be how the Ravens use Ngata and how the Pats use Wilfork, you'll both of them at DE or DT on any given snap. We are talking as if Hicks can't get upfield and I absolutely disagree with that notion. He's probably the most well-rounded defensive lineman we have right now - he's only being held back my lack of experience and technique.
Right now as it stands, Hicks and Jordan have to be your DEs with Bunkley at DT.
