Ayjackson posted this in the "Top" Priorities thread and I felt it really deserved its own.

I wasn't thinking about an OLB projection, just the switch to our 3-4 line. Tyson Jackson is 295lbs, I don't think he'd convert well to OLB. But a thread for general 3-4 conversions, whether they be from OLB to ILB, DT to DE, or DE to OLB would be useful.

There. fixed the title.

What about Selivie from South Florida. I have heard he is a better end than OLB. The kid from Northwestern who got injured in the bowl game looks very intriguing to me. His name is escaping me at the moment. and I do realize he is a junior.

The last I read, Selvie was planning to return and finish his senior year to try and bounce back from the ankle injury that slowed him all season. I wouldn't want to draft him too high because he would be very limited his first year in the NFL.

Corey Wootton of Northwestern was really intriguing as a potential true "Elephant." He looked to be as athletic as McGinest, carrying the same weight with longer arms to fend off OT's and swat down passes. His interception was very pretty. I expect he will also return for his senior year to give his knee time to heal and boost his draft stock.

Peria Jerry - Ole Miss 6'3" 295lb. NFL scout.com has him the top rated dt.
Size-wise looks more like a 3-4 end. Am curious to see that Ole Miss/T Tech
game.

Not sure about some of the names mentioned, but from what I've seen on the field, Jackson looks your prototypical 3-4 End.

Creator of the Pats must draft Jason Verrett in 2014 no matter the cost fanclub.

I haven't renewed my subscription to NFLDraftScout and can't read the full assessment of him yet but OSU's DE Victor Strong-Butler might have the skills to play ILB. I think he's a little on the short side for OLB but he's about the same size as Bruschi @ 6'2 238 lbs. He was a WR when he arrived at OSU so he can run and he had a good day against Pitt yesterday. NFLDraftScout currently has him listed in the 6th round but he's moving up. A player to keep an eye on.

Krafty - Could you be a bit more specific when you say OSU. There are two of them. Oregon State University and Oklahoma State University.

NFLDraftScout hasn't completed their review of his positives and negatives yet so having your subscription wouldn't help you right now.. That being said, Strong-Butler was invited to and has accepted the invite to play in the East-West Shrine game.

He's also VERY fast clocking in around the 4.5 range. I could see him as a late round pick would could fill in behind Mayo at the WILB position and provide the Pats some pass rush ability if he's on the field with Mayo.. but this would be 2-3 years down the road.
