I see 6 'starting caliber' NTs on rosters right now; 5 of them drafted, one auto-assigned. And one of those drafted NTs was taken by me, a 4-3 team.
So we can only say for sure that 4 teams are running 3-4s right now. There are maybe 2 more available NTs that I'd be willing to build a 3-4 system around. So let's assume that the team that got auto-assigned a starting caliber NT decided to build around that guy, that gets you to 5. And the other 3-4 squads are slow-playing the position and are waiting there's out, that adds 2 more.
So you can get to 7 if you squint there. But to go beyond that you have to assume that folks are willing to slot an DT into the NT position and that's an iffy proposition to my eyes.
And it's funny - the Chiefs defense didn't suck in 2012/2013 when we did this the last time. They ran a 3-4 and the 3-4 was pretty damn popular here. Now the Chiefs defense sucks and ran a 3-4, so none of us want anything to do with it.
