wiki actually has a good 3-4 page HERE
Ideally 3–4 DEs should weigh 285–300 pounds (129–140 kg) and be able to beat double teams by getting a push.
Flanking the NT, DEs defend the gaps on either side of the tackle he lines up across from. Each guard-tackle gap is a B gap and the space outside each tackle is called a C gap. Other 3–4 teams (such as the San Diego Chargers and the Dallas Cowboys) primarily make each lineman responsible for only one gap.
According to former general manager Randy Mueller, “the 3–4 defensive end is easier to identify and find when it comes to scouting and acquiring personnel,” while 4–3 DEs “are rare and hard to find and therefore very expensive to keep. There is no question that speed pass rushers are very much an impact position on the football field and their cap numbers reflect that. On the other hand, 3–4 defensive ends can be found easier and are much less expensive when it comes to ‘cap dollars’.

And Will Smith is listed at 282, but I'm convinced he's more like 290 because 282 has been his listed weight since his rookie year. Obviously he has put on weight. Also, the best thing he does is bull rush, which requires pure strength. His strength could help him in the 3-4. I don't think he is staying, but I don't understand everyone saying he is too small. He is pretty much the same size as Jordan.
