Original 1-Tech Advocate here with my annual reminder that we STILL need a Real 1-Tech since the days of One Jeremiah Bullfrog RATTliff..

I know I know, Rod Marinara doesn’t use basil in his secret sauce but this year we are going to trick him. So who are the Top five 1-Techs this year and mock me with us taking two.



Vea, Settle, ..., ...., ....



I’m dreaming of a Wide Christmas... A quick twitch behemoth with skills to hold the line....
 
Those are the two best i have reviewed.

Which is better scenario for Dallas?

19 - Vea, 2nd round OL, WR, LB, SS OR

Trade back 8-10 spots. 1st - Wynn, Settle & WR.

I love Vea and really think you would have to try hard to screw up any draft class that included him. However, I do see the argument for greater overall value\filling of needs if the second scenario played out.
 
Been saying it for years

Yes I have...

It’s a cult of personality

Cult of 1-Tech-Nal-I-Teeeeeeee..
Ask not what you can do for your team..
But ask how you can finish building it....
 
If Vea is somehow there at 19 and we pass I'm going to be seriously upset, we would have a legit Dline finally. I know everyone is hung up on Stephen's comments about not using an early pick on a 1T, but he left the door open saying he would have to have 3T traits which Vea does. Hurst has the elite first step but Vea is plenty quick and in 3 years he will have 40-60 pounds on most NFL linemen and that just can't be taught.
 
Not sure Ratliff was a 1 tech. He played in Wades 3-4 system shaded off the nose but it was primarily a 1 gap system and asked him to penetrate rather than take on doubles and stack.
Having said that both the guys you mention I drool over......
 
I don't think the Jones gang was lying when they said they won't take one high.
If we don't draft another 3 tech high I could see us taking a 1 tech in day 3. Hill or Senat would be good fits

Correct and we’re talking semantics here now. The point is having a big guy that commands double teams, NT, 1-Tech, 1 Gap, whatever, just a big anchor is the point here....
