Switching to 3-4?

Who would be in favor of us switching to a 3-4? If you look at our projected front seven it could work. C. Grant would be a great end in a 3-4 scheme and W. Smith would be solid. Smith could also be used as a stand up pass rusher. H. Thomas could play nose. B. Young could play DE. Fujita is versatile enough to play OLB in a 3-4. Vilma and Morgan would be the MLBs although Vilma had some problems with the Jets' 3-4 defense. Then all we would have to do is trade up and draft V. Gholston to play the other OLB and we would be set. I know it's a major stretch, but hey, it could work. Maybe if we ran a 3-4 we could get more pressure on the QB and protect our horror show of a secondary. I would love to see a LB corp of Fujita, Vilma, Morgan, and Gholston. That would be scary, while they were healthy.
