The First Round
The Los Angeles Chargers select
Samuel Cosmi is the first Texas player up in the 2021 NFL Draft mock scenario. Viewed as a top 20 prospect, Cosmi can be a valuable asset to any team that is looking to upgrade their offensive line. More specifically in Los Angeles where they need to protect their young quarterback in Justin Herbert.
The Chargers added former Packer offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga this past offseason and he is expected to start at left tackle. On the right side they are starting Sam Tevi, a sixth-round pick from Utah in the 2018 NFL Draft. Cosmi would likely play the right tackle spot provided he beats out Tevi then moves to left tackle when Bulaga either leaves or retires.
