OT Samuel Cosmi, Texas
There hasn’t been a Texas player selected in the first-round of the draft since 2015 (Malcolm Brown) and no offensive lineman has been selected on the first day since 2001 (Leonard Davis). That will likely change come April, with Cosmi likely to hear his name.
Standing at a good-looking 6-foot-5 and 300 pounds, Cosmi is an excellent pass protector. His combination of length and athleticism makes him a very difficult matchup for pass rushers. His movement skills show up in the run game, where he is able to transition fluidly laterally and to the second level.
Cosmi projects as a strong NFL starter at left tackle. He is solid in most areas but his excellent ability in pass protection and overall length give him a high ceiling. He has competed and won against elite talent, and as continues he continues to develop physically, his complete dominance will be unveiled.
Came away with a Taylor Decker comp. for #Texas OT Samuel Cosmi.
Another example of an athletic OT that needs some seasoning. Has some aggressiveness in him, but needs to gain strength and refine some things in his lower half.pic.twitter.com/tZML85lT1L
