I doubt they would cut Hitchens, who handles all of the defensive calls, and go with two inexperienced players at LB.
Gay was always a bit of a project; athletic freak but raw. Now you want to add a rookie and roll with that? I seriously doubt it.
Do we need to get better at LB? Well, sure. But right now Hitchens is important.
DE is a bigger need, in my opinion, and will need to be addressed early if you're looking for year one impact.
