The Philadelphia Inquirer believes it's "difficult to see" either Brandon Graham or Trent Cole as long-term solutions in the Eagles' new 3-4 defense.

Eagles OLB Brandon Graham has gotten his weight down to 260 after playing in the 270s last season.
Graham is converting from defensive end to 3-4 outside linebacker. He weighed 285 as recently as the 2011 season. Graham exploded down the stretch of 2012, recording four sacks, 23 tackles, and a forced fumble over the final five games. He'll battle Trent Cole and Connor Barwin for a starting job in training camp.

Eagles DE Brandon Graham confirms he's anticipating a switch to outside linebacker next season.
"I think linebacker is where I'm going to be - outside linebacker," Graham said Friday. Graham is trying to get down to 260 pounds after playing between 270-275 last season. GM Howie Roseman said last month he's confident Graham can make the switch. "He can rush the passer. He can hold the edge. He can play in space. I think that's a transition Brandon can do."

Eagles GM Howie Roseman projects starting DEs Brandon Graham and Trent Cole as stand-up pass rushers in the 3-4 defense.
"I think he can do that," Roseman said of Graham. "He can play. He can rush the passer. He can hold the edge. He can play in space. I think that's a transition Brandon can do." Roseman said both Graham and Cole were viewed as linebackers coming out of college.
