You've already got the LBs for this with Foye, Lloyd and Muma. Clean up our questions at DE, G, OT and find a mid-rounder at DT to rotate with our current two. Yes we would love a Deion or Diggs at CB, but they guys we have are showing to be serviceable; it's time to focus on the trenches.

Switching back to a 4-3 presents a conundrum for me.

While I have a preference for the 4-3 there are considerations that would make me reluctant to make such a move.
We will be two years into transitioning to a 3-4.  We've stocked the roster with personnel to fit the scheme.  We may get lucky in that many of our guys might fit in a 4-3, but there are many other people we may have to weed out to get better scheme fits for a 4-3.  For younger players struggling to learn the scheme we have, how would switching to a 4-3 hurt their development?  LLoyd would go from 3-4 ILB to 4-3 OLB.  What would that do for his understanding of zone coverage concepts?  Would such a dramatic switch make him even more reluctant/hesitant/ineffective in his play?

If we decided to switch back to a 4-3, would we come from the Buddy Ryan coaching tree (Gregg Williams, Jim Schwartz) a Dungy cover two type (like Lovie Smith)?  Who would be your coordinator?

If we moved back to a 4-3, Mike Zimmer, Jim Scwartz or Lovie Smith would be welcome additions.  Schwartz has the added benefit of having worked with Pederson in Philadelphia
