There's a distinct difference between an edge rusher in a 4-3 and a 3-4 OLB who is asked to be a terrific pass rusher and also be able to stand up and seal off the outside run, not to mention have some coverage ability. Woodley is adequate at best against the pass, but he's one of those rare talents that is phenomenal against both the run and the pass.
Even in a 4-3, an every down DE that is very good against the run/pass is probably one of the hardest positions to find in football.
