It appears they want to run more of a 4-2-5 defense. It seems they are going after DL,DE and defensive backs. Traditional linebackers might be a thing of the past like fullbacks.

What would make you say that they want to run an even-front? Every single EDGE they've brought in has been of the stand-up/hybrid OLB persuasion. I think Quency wiggins is about the only traditional hand-in-the-dirt defensive end on the entire roster. Every other guy is a hybrid DT/DE (which slot in as "DE" in House's scheme) or a hybrid DE/OLB (which is the JACK spot).
3-3-5, yes, maybe. 4-2-5, no. Regardless, the upshot of this is that they only need two "traditional" linebackers regardless of which of these is the proper label. 2 true "ILB" type LBs and one pass-rush type (the jack position). So you've got Weeks and Perkins and Penn for two spots, and after that you really just need depth. I think they'll be more than fine if they can land one solid, starting-caliber guy.
