If this was 15 years ago - I’d agree with you. But even 43 base teams play so much sub-package stuff that they’re drafting traditional 34 type guys as pass rushers.
I think teams are at a point that they don’t generally care as much about what you’re ‘best suited for’ as much as they care if you can rush the passer.
