Curry at 3-4 DE?

Here's What Confuses Me...
Why ask Vinny Curry to make the transition to 3-4 DE but ask Trent Cole to make the transition to OLB?
Cole has always been our best DE against the run, which is a skill that won't diminish as quickly with age. Why ask him to get better at coverage just as the skills necessary for that are about to decline? The thinking would be that a 3-4 OLB has better opportunities for rushing the QB without getting bogged down engaging with linemen, but we already saw last year that Cole isn't on the same level he once was in that area.
I think the fact that they aren't asking their long-time best run-stopping DE to bulk up for that role in the new scheme shows they don't think he's a fit for that scheme long-term. I would not be surprised to see him traded on draft day for a pennies-on-the-dollar deal.
