The fact that fans on a message board don't see how our talent fits doesn't mean that true NFL coaches don't.
Remember, it also isn't just about this year, it is about building a long term successful team. And, as nearly every GM will tell you, finding good linebackers is easier than finding good defensive lineman.
Add in the change ups in the rush schemes, and coverages, and the 3-4 has a great deal to offer.

I didn't know Edwards was switching to a 3-4.
As for finding LBs being easier. Many here say that your OLBs have to be DEs.
With may teams making te switch to the 3-4 nowadays, it seems that 4-3 DEs may become easier to find. Just a thought.
