I agree that overall the 4 will be better this year.
Simply because we'll have more than one guy who can play the position, and Lawal will bring a needed boost of athleticism.
But I also believe that Beran was our best "team" defender, and that part of his game will be missed.

I think even if the 4 who left, stayed, we'd still be picked 8-9th at most.**
