I'm assuming Lofton and Vilma can play LBer in a 3-4. I'm very interested to see what Vilma does considering he wanted out of New York due to them switching to a 3-4.
I don't think we will be able to get Spencer, Ellerbe or Barwin.
I like James and Grant at the other MLBer spot if Vilma can't/won't play that position.
I think for the 3-4 to be most effective, you need a true pass rusher like Demarcus Ware, J.J. Watts, Aldon Smith or Terrel Suggs. I don't see that guy in your list and think we may have to move up to draft him.
Also, does this switch spell the end for Will Smith and Jonathan Vilma? And does it change your mind on Ellis? Could he play NT?

Gallette-Lofton-Hawthorne-Wilson.
Those should be our LBers. We need to focus on NT, FS, and maybe a DE

THE necessary cog even more than we have missed it in the 4-3. Those guys are always coveted.
Look at Shaun Phillips. First, he could be affordable. I like a vet 3-4 OLB to mix with Tez/Juneyah. Phillips games started and sack totals-
0 4
3 7
14 11.5
15 8.5
16 7.5
16 7
16 11
12 3.5
16 9.5

Smith and Vilma for the cap in a 4-3. In a 3-4 even more so gone
Ellis?? After a dude takes $33mil from me like that I don't wanna see him anymore
We have some warm bodies for NT even if not THE answer. An experienced 3-4 OLB is a priority IMO. Get one of those then you can draft the best player available at either NT or OLB

J.J. Watts
You do realize that Watt is probably the rarest of rare commodities in the NFL? It's unheard of for a 3-4 DE to have the sacks he had. Cam Jordan is about as good as you can get for that position in my opinion. Hicks also has potential to be great there. But don't expect them to have the kind of season Watt just had. Watt shouldn't be expected to have that kind of season ever again.
