Lee will never be a 3-down guy in the middle.
This team won't really have one of those all that often anyway. In all reality, they'll be playing in 2 LB formations probably 2/3 of the time. And those fronts will be Hitchens and Lee/O'Daniel. I'd have my money on Lee. You'll probably see Hitchens working in the "Nickel Mike" spot with Lee in a "Nickel Will" - i.e. a true nickel LB.
Our 2 LB set will have only one throughput and that will be Hitchens. Wilson and Ragland will come off the field anytime we're running 5 DBs.
I'd be surprised if our Mike is running more than 20% of the snaps when all is said and done.
