When you have a GM who hits on the FA's he brings in missing in the draft doesn't hurt as much.
BTW the 2014 team has 3 contributors, 2 starters if you count Roby as the nickle back. Latimer is still around until TC at least he is very good on ST's.
There are multiple players from those years who moved on and are still on NFL rosters.
Lets look at the 2015 draft now:
Ray is Starting
Sambustillo (who is supposed to be pushing Bolles for the LT gig)
Heuerman (The Latimer of this draft?)
Garcia is starting
Doss is getting Websters snaps this year.
Kilgo is with the Pats.
Siemian is either starting or pushing a 1st round pick for the job (I prefer to see Trevor start)
I think Nixon is still kicking around.
That is 7 guys right there if anything this team is getting younger than if they had a bunch of 4th through 7th year starters.
Since I am bored lets look at 2016
Lynch (pushing Siemian for the job)
Gotsis (has a chance to be a factor in the DL Rotation)
Simmons Flashed big last year great depth, will keep Ward and Stewart fresh
Booker he will get touches.
McGovern TC and PS will tell. Needed OL Depth anyway.
Janovitch was playing well until he got hurt. Love this kid.
Parks, See Simmons above.
Dixon is punting well
7 more guys involved in the rotation
Throw in the unknows from this years draft and you have a young team with quality depth if all are healthy.
