If that's true, tell me who you would put in the following spots:

NT - one of the most important positions in the 3-4.  Needs to be a space eater and able to absorb double teams.
DE - Also needs to be able to take on 2 guys and manage gaps.  
DE - 

OLB - needs to be able to rush the passer
OLB - needs to be able to rush the passer.

Right now we don't have a guy who projects well to OLB in a 3-4.  In a 3-4 our best pass rushers (Atkins and Dunlap) would be misused in a major way.
