You still need good corners. The last time the pats beat the colts in Indy. The colts hung 34 pts on that awesome front seven. They ran timing plays with the 3 step drop and blew up the Pats nickel back.
Fact is you can have all the pass rushing you want and your not going do squat if your corners suck. You need corners that have coverage skills. D is like anything else, a balancing act. Better CB play results in more pressure up front because the QBs quick reads are taken away. Granted the front 7 is critical, but putting two capable cbs on the field is as well.
