But I agree, that does seem like it's generally common knowledge. We can kinda guess by roster construction, but sometimes it's fairly difficult.

We can look at what the real life NFL teams are currently playing to know what system their players will fit best in for the upcoming season.
For example, I can look at the Jets and see that they are currently running a 3-4. My first round draft pick, Sheldon Richardson, is playing what I assume is a DE3, although on the team's official website, the depth chart lists him as a DT (the other two linemen are listed as NT and DE). PFF lists him as a DE.
The only unknown is whether the players will be a fit for more than one season, because the NFL team could switch schemes a year from now or the player could switch teams in the off season.
