A lot of people would like to see these 5 names have a role in the next Administration. This will show that popular, and competent people will help take America in a new direction.

Need new blood too!

Padding the team with all veterans could dilute the message of change, since all of these experienced Senators probably have some skeletons in their closets.
Need a good mix of new & old blood as well as one or two republicans too.
Edwards?

No one wants to see Edwards anywhere near Democratic politics any time soon. I say this as a person who would vote for him right now if he were on the ballot, because I think sex scandals are idiotic distractions. But I'm also a pragmatist, and recognize that Edwards has no future in Dem politics, unless he spends a considerable amount of time and energy rehabilitating his own image.
On your larger point, though, it would really be unwise to start naming a cabinet. Both sides ought to be vetting people, trying to prepare to hit the ground running. But for either side, Obama especially, to actually start naming names, would be a political mistake.
