Rummy hangs on for a little while in the hopes there's something in Iraq that lets him say mission accomplished.
Powell, meanwhile, goes quickly.
I'd guess Ashcroft sticks around until the Rehnquist situation clears up, which for political reasons gives Bush some options on appointments--he can appoint an AG as a sop to the wing of the party that doesn't get the Chief choice. (e.g., Giuliani to placate the nomination of Jones/Gonzales/Luttig/Alito)
