Pretty much agree with you here... but you see Gabe Wright as a 1?

Edit: Nevermind. I see now where you said guys who can do both. In Marinelli's scheme, he will likely move some guys back and forth situationally.

 

[AsthmaField]

There are a lot of guys who can play at the 1-tech spot... but it is a relatively rare skillset to be able to be a good 3-tech in this scheme. The 3 has to be a pretty quick-twitch athlete like Warren Sapp, Aaron Donald or Jay Ratliff.

Leonard Williams is projected as a 5 tech (3-4 DE and Seahawks 4-3 SDE) and 3 tech (4-3 Undertackle). Like JJ Watt.

Leonard Williams is a top 5 pick, dont need to worry about him in this scheme.

About sums it up!

I really like Lott in the 5 th

I would add Preston Smith as a three tech. I think with the cowboys that would be his dominant position. IMO a better pass rushing 3 than Crawford which is very high praise. Last year if the Rams had not taken Aaron Donald(pick 13) I feel like we would have if the cards fell correctly. Preston Smith is a tier below Donald but can play all positions across the Dline which renders him very useful. IMO high quality swiss army knife.

I reviewed Xavier Cooper after your response, I agree he is a very capable player. He is added to my short list.
