Details, details, I know.....

Yes, details. They are the exception. Not the rule. It's the same as saying that every 6th round pick can be a pro bowl quarterback because Tom Brady was picked in the 6th round. Yes, DL can play ILB in a 3-4 or OLB in a 4-3. But it rarely, rarely ever happens, just like OLBs playing 3-4 rarely ever happen.
Now, as for your argument about Raji, finally we agree on something. I think when you're talking about a 3-4, Raji, Everett Brown, and even a Robert Ayers carry a lot more value than Curry. Now, you've been arguing all this time about Curry deserving to be in the top 5. Look, I agree with you on that. I think in a 4-3, Curry is going to be good enough, especially in this draft class, to warrant a #3 pick. But in a 3-4, he's not worth a pick that high.
