I understand that worry, but how often will he actually cover someone man to man?
The strongside OLB in a 3-4 has to cover quite a bit, especially the te. If Galette can't cover then Wilson would have to play there and that would take away from Wilson's pass rushing chances. Maybe Galette already has some coverage ability, if so, great. But if all he can do is rush the passer, it's really going to cut down on his scheme versatility and eventually teams will dictate putting him in coverage when he's on the field.
I'm not saying I think he has to be the next Sean Weatherspoon in coverage but he can't be totally inadequate either...if he is, it won't take long for teams to exploit that weakness.

I listed quite a few of the top pass rushing 3-4 OLB's. Those guys are out there for one reason. Which of those guys are known for covering people?
Putting pressure on the qb and making him get rid of the ball quickly is the most important part of playing defense. If you have a guy who is really good at doing that, you live with him maybe not being so great in coverage. You find ways to help that guy out when he does drop back. Coverage is only as good as the pass rush lets it be anyway.
