I'm sure other franchises have done it and when's the right time to switch ? The defense can't get worse and the best coordinators available might run 3-4's why eliminate them because you don't want to change  ?  What direction is the league trending towards are 3-4's harder to scheme against ? I feel like a lot more of these college edge guys are smaller weight wise and don't fit a 4-3 and you have to draft more plodding slower guys cause they need to anchor in a 4-3. Guys like Hubbard, Murphy or the big guys we always draft back in the day Will Clarke, Michael Johnson ,Hunt and so on.  Do we have guys on the roster that could play in a 3-4 ? I believe Hendrickson played in a 3-4 with the Saints ? I think Mckinnley Jackson could play NT ? At 6'3 could Kris Jenkins jr. play a DE in a 3-4 ? Murphy has the length at 6'5 maybe he adds a few pounds an could make it work. Obviously you need more edge guys outside of Trey who can stand up. I think Wilson can play linebacker in a 3-4 ? Just asking for opinions and if it could work not saying it will or that we should. 

I would think because the current crop of talent may not be equipped to handle that and it could take multiple years to get guys out and get the talent in that fits that scheme.
