We have no nose tackle, and Okam isn't ready to wear those daddy pants yet, if ever. He seems more like a 4-3 DT to me anyway.
DeMeco is probably good in any system, and Diles if he returns 100% might be alright, too. I'd have real questions though about the other LBs, though outside of Adibi, none of them might be on the roster next year anyway.
ETA - Cochran would have to become an OLB. Bulman might be okay as an end. In either system, we are desperate for competent safeties. Still, yuck. I think we'd have fewer holes to fill if we kept moving forward with the 4-3.

Okaye and Travis both definitely not fits as DLineman in the 3-4, but many people feel Mario is the prototype 3-4 DE and that's what Weaver played before coming over here, but I think its been established that Weaver is too expensive at any position with his present cap. But Bullman looks like a real
fit as a 3-4 end, but we'd still need a NT ?
You were joking about Cochran as an OLB ?
