3-4 base defense official?

With a 3-4 base, and assuming Cullen patterns the defense after the Ravens positioning and numbers at each position (using Ravens 1st released 9/20 depth chart), the Jags defense currently may look like this....

DTinterior: Bryan, Costin, Gotsis (could see Hamilton/Smoot starting here also)
NTinterior: Brown, Hamilton
DEinterior: Robertson-Harris, Ward
Rush/OLB: Allen, Smoot
WLB: Jack, Wilson, Williams
MLB: Schobert, Quarterman
SAM/OLB: Chaisson, McCray
LCB: Griffin, Jones, Herndon
SS: Thomas, Ford
FS: Jenkins, Wilson
RCB: Henderson, Claybrooks

With using the Ravens depth chart as a pattern, it appears to me that the Jags roster has some "opportunities".

The loss of Alualu at the DT position weakens the spot. Hamilton can play the spot, but then a NT backup or rotational piece is needed. Smoot has been mentioned by some to play the role, but does he have the size to be the 3 down player there? If Smoot does start there, a void is opened behind Allen at rush. I am just not sold on Bryan, Costin, or Gotsis as possible starters at DT. I think we'll see a starter-level draft pick used at the DT position.

A backup or rotation behind either Allen and/or Chaisson is needed. Can Jacobs play in a rush position, or does he challenge for a role at the WLB spot? Does McCray have anything left in the tank? The battle for Jack's backup at WLB has many suitors on the roster. If the Jags only keep 4 safeties as the Ravens did, some names will fall, especially if they want to upgrade the starter opposite Jenkins in the draft.

...this was an interesting exercise for me.
