Hitchens and Gay as the primary guys is very doable. I'm actually more concerned about getting a legit edge rusher

A better edge rusher opposite Clark makes everybody's job easier.
Devin White struggled in pass coverage throughout the year but locked it down in the Super Bowl because he didn't have to actually cover. Just make sure he maintained his zone for the split second it took for the pass rush to get home.
LB's in this league are NEVER plus in coverage, even the best ones struggle because offenses scheme to expose them. Linebackers are primarily there for run support and overflow protection.
Could we use improvements? For sure, but not at the expense of another high draft pick when we already took Gay last year. This team can't afford to just stack positions, or they're going to have gaping holes soon.
