Completely agree. We've had sporadic success with designed blitzes, but part of the reason why offenses are able to maintain a good completion percentage against our zone schemes is because we're not getting consistent pressure when we only rush 4. We need that edge rush guy who makes life unpleasant for OTs on passing downs where we aren't blitzing.
After that, I'd actually say WR is the most pressing need. Ebron is great in the endzone but he is not a reliable possession target, and trying to use T.Y. as one is the quickest way to lose him for multiple games at a time. Besides, teams with man corners who can cover him (rare though they may be), do serious damage to our passing game. We need a viable 2nd option who can go up on a jump ball and win that battle against a CB or safety.
