There are a few styles of the 3-4 defense.
3-4/4-3 hybrid. 2 DT, 1 DE, with a Smart good pass rusher as the rover DE/OLB type. He moves around and picks his spot to rush. A.k.A Tim Harris/B.Paup type of player. I think the Packers could use this type of 3-4 with Kampman as the rover. He is smart and could do the job.
3-4 with big OLB. I also think the Packers have the players to run this style too. Under this scheme you like to have tall 6'4-6'7 type OLB with speed. Kampman would be the ROLB and Thompson/Hunter being the LOLB. I think Kampman could play this because he is smart and already shown he can drop back in coverage. Hawk, Bishop and Barnett would have to fight for the starting 2 MLB positions. Under this scheme I would draft M.Johnson if he was still available in the draft. He is 6'7 with speed could fill the LOLB spot. DT would be Pickett and DE Jenkins and Harrell if they stay health. Other wise Jolly would start for Harrell. I think Harrell would excel at DE in the 3-4. If he could stay health.
3-4 with speedy OLB's and big MLB's. This scheme I don't think the Packers have the players to play it.
I have always like the 3-4 with the rover. I remember Harris causing so much havoc. Many teams had to call audibles. Then teams learned that the longer they waited for Harris to move around they were at a disadvantage. Then they would do quick counts preventing Harris from getting lined up. Many time Harris got stuck in the middle of the field. So this style has it's draw backs but could be easily used with the players we have now.
I would like to use both the rover 3-4 and big OLB 3-4 version. The big 3-4 version would be harder to run against because you basically have 3 DT and 2 DE/OLB type. With 1 or both OLB rushing the passer every play. With the height of the OLB it would be harder to throw the flats.
