UPDATE I -
The GITMO5 exchanged for Bergdahl were all high level associates of the deceased Mullah Omar as well. But, surely, the timing of this exchange to the proximity of Omar's demise is merely a coincidence.

UPDATED - New Taliban Emir is ex inmate at Guantanamo?
From the Vlad Tepes Blog:
New Taliban Emir is ex inmate at Guantanamo?
Mullah Adbul Qayoum Zakir, a member of the Taliban’s executive council and the group’s former military commander, denied reports that he disagrees with the appointment of Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansour as the replacement for deceased Taliban emir Mullah Omar. Zakir is a former detainee at Guantanamo Bay who is an influential leader in the jihadist group.
In fact the new leader just released his first audio threats in fine islamic tradition.

Cross checking the Taliban GITMO 5 against Mullah Omar ...wiki: list of Taliban leaders
"Mullah Mohammad Fazl" chief of staff, former taliban deputy defense minister,
"Abdul Haq Wasiq", Deputy minister of intelligence, Served as acting minister of intel when Qari Ahmadullah was away from Kabul
"Mullah Norullah Nori"/"Mawlawi Norullah Noori" Governor of Balkh Province, head of northern zone, leader of the taliban's quetta shura,
"Mullah Khairullah Khairkhwa", Governor of Herat Province and Minister of the Interior - was one of the original taliban members who launched the movement in 1994
Directly associated with taliban supreme commander mullah muhammad omar
via Vox "Khairkhwa was the most senior Taliban member on this list, but, according to Clark, was known as a relative moderate inside the militant group. Allegedly linked to the opium trade. Anand Gopal, an expert on the Taliban at the New America Foundation, thinks some of them could pose a real threat. "Of the five released Taliban," he writes, "only 2 have the potential to make an appreciable impact on the battlefield: Fazl & Noori...Khairkhwa isn't a military commander, and the other two are mid-level."
The key question about Fazl and Noori going forward, then, is how they'll integrate with the modern Taliban. Both of them were detained in 2001, so they haven't had an organizational role in the Taliban in well over a decade. Will they be mesh well with the way the organization is structured today?"
