Late Round 1 Tech DT

[supercowboy8]

We've all heard Marinelli and now Stephen and Jerry say you can find a 1 tech DT later in the draft. So lets look for a Marinelli 1 tech. Marinelli likes quick strong DTs that play with leverage and strength. Looking at his previous players he prefers 300-310 DTs over the bigger heavier DTs.

So lets play match maker.

Those are three that meet had the most targets meet. Who else do you like as a late round 1 Tech DT?

I like Justin Ellis; although he is bigger than previous DL that Marinelli has had. If this guy and Nix had switched schools, they would also be switched in draft positions, IMO.

Kerr & Ellis are too heavy for Marrinelli's scheme unless he is adapting a new philosophy more like Seattle's. I'd also look into Garrison Smith - NT 6'3" 299lbs UGA & Tenny Palepoi - DT 6'1" 303lbs - Utah.
Smith reminds me of a Ratliff type steal in the 7th & Palepoi fits both the production & size of a typical Rod 1-tech based off of his previous Bears Rosters

Shamar Thomas is the best fit in my opinion. Strong, long arms, and can move and get after the qb.

I do like Bromley too but I think he's more of a 3 tech
