Edge rushers and defensive ends aren't necessarily the same thing. They still categorize linebackers as a separate category, which makes sense since linebackers aren't necessarily edge rushers, but then they also categorize some linebackers as EDGE. It's all very confusing to me. Defensive ends are still a thing, right? And defensive tackles? Middle linebackers? Outside linebackers? Most NFL teams still use a 4-3 defense, right? But even 3-4 defenses still have defensive ends! Raaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr!

I only ever look at 1 sight: Walterfootball. They haven't changed anything.
They only use the term edge when describing a players abilities.
Walterfootball: Positions (defense)
Defensive Ends
Defensive Tackles
3-4 Rush Linebackers
3-4 Defensive Ends
Nose Tackles
Outside Linebackers
Inside Linebackers
Cornerbacks
Safeties
DE Prospect #25
Ejuan Price, DE/OLB, Pittsburgh
Height: 6-1. Weight: 255.
Projected 40 Time: 4.90.
Projected Round (2017): 4-6.
2/18/17: Price is a fast edge rusher who will have to transition to outside or maybe inside linebacker in the NFL. He was a terror in the pass rush as a senior with 13 sacks, 45 tackles, 23 tackles for a loss, three force fumbles and one pass broken up.
As a pro, Price might fit best as a 3-4 outside linebacker. He has speed off the edge with functional strength to fight off blockers, but he has a crippling lack of length. Some team sources aren't convinced there is a good position for him in the NFL.
As a junior in 2015, Price totaled nine sacks with 13 tackles for a loss and 26 tackles. He could have a medical red flag with teams as he missed the 2014 season with a chest muscle injury from the offseason. He also took a medical redshirt while missing the 2012 season from a pectoral injury. Those missed seasons will result in Price being a bit older as he will be 24 in his rookie season.
