And to add to this, many 4-3 DTs and 3-4 NTs aren't very interchangeable. The closest we had to a 3-4 NT on the team was Kemo, and that's a stretch to say this b/c he was hurt and had not played in a 3-4 defense for like 4 years (his previous team was Carolina a 4-3 team). Unless they are willing to gamble on one of the young DTs they drafted or Bryant, I think acquiring an experienced NT like Soliai would be a good move.
