Have I Told U Lately We Need a 1 Tech

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 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....

Option 3: BJ Hill anyone?

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......

 

[Montanalo]

Option 3: BJ Hill anyone?

Yes. I think he would be a good option in the 3rd or 4th round.

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....

Actually like his teammate Justin Jones a little better.

 

[Centex]

And yet we'll probably take two dts in the 6th &7th like last year that won't make the team.

Yeah another wasted draft...

 

[Centex]

Well.... at least at the 1tech. Dallas will be better post draft than before.
