The Washington Football Team selected Kentucky linebacker Jamin Davis in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft on Thursday.

Washington entered Friday’s portion of the draft with three selections across the second and third rounds. The Football Team chose offensive tackle Samuel Cosmi, cornerback Benjamin St-Juste and wide receiver Dyami Brown.

It was a day that earned Washington plenty of praise from around the NFL. The team has clearly prioritized length and athleticism in this class. Character, of course, is always a determining factor for any team coached by Ron Rivera.

So, after Washington made each of its picks, Rivera and general manager Martin Mayhew met with the media to discuss Friday’s action.

Cosmi played right tackle for Texas as a freshman in 2018. He moved to left tackle for the Longhorns in each of the past two seasons. Washington’s staff love that flexibility, but Cosmi will begin his career at left tackle.

According to Mayhew, for those fans screaming about a wide receiver in the second round, it was a consideration. But they couldn’t pass up Cosmi, which was a smart move.

Rivera is happy to have Cosmi.

St-Juste was a bit of a mystery to many fans, but not to this staff.

Rivera noted how Washington received calls for the No. 74 pick. After the WFT selected St-Juste, one team informed Rivera they had wanted to move up for St-Juste.

Rivera loves what St-Juste offers.

Rivera loves what Brown brings to the offense, especially in contested-catch situations.

Rivera had a stat to back it up.

Overall, Rivera and Mayhew are extremely pleased with the front office and how they’ve worked together over the last few months.

Thus far, it’s been a strong offseason for the defending NFC East champions, and Washington will look to further strengthen the roster on Saturday’s day three.

 

 

 

Twitter reacts to Washington’s selection of Samuel Cosmi

The Washington Football Team found its left tackle of the future in the second round of the 2021 NFL draft in Samuel Cosmi of Texas. 

The Washington Football Team found its left tackle of the future in the second round of the 2021 NFL draft in Samuel Cosmi of Texas.

Cosmi will immediately come to Washington and compete for a starting job with veteran Cornelius Lucas and Geron Christian. Lucas, signed last offseason, was solid in 2020 when he took over at left tackle. However, he was originally signed to be WFT’s swing tackle.

We analyzed Cosmi’s addition to Washington after his selection. He has many positive traits and is extremely impressive in the running game. He is far from a finished product but is an exciting prospect for offensive line coach John Matsko.

You know what we think; let’s see what Twitter thought of Cosmi to Washington.

Echoing what we said earlier, Cosmi will help Washington’s rushing attack in 2021.

Check out the athleticism from the big guy.

Sounds familiar with every Ron Rivera selection.

Impressive in pass protection here.

A former NFL general manager has spoken.

Cosmi is an impressive athlete.

3 biggest needs for Ravens entering 2021 NFL draft

The Baltimore Ravens have a very competitive roster already, but they have a few needs that need to be filled. Which needs are most glaring?

The Baltimore Ravens have put together a very competitive roster. They have a plethora of stars surrounded by depth all around, which makes the team not only good at the top, but good all the way to the last man. There is a nice foundation already in place for the Ravens, as young studs such as Lamar Jackson, Ronnie Stanley, and Marlon Humphrey will carry the torch for a long time in Baltimore.

Despite having such a talented roster already, the Ravens now have the opportunity to get even better by drafting immediate impact contributors at positions of need in the 2021 NFL draft. Rounding out their roster should be a top priority for the team, so what needs are their most glaring heading into the draft?

No Longhorns were selected in Bucky Brooks final 2021 NFL mock draft

No Texas Longhorns were taken in the first round of Bucky Brooks’ final 2021 NFL mock draft.

The 2021 NFL draft kicks off on Thursday night, therefore, analysts and writers have began to release their final mock drafts projecting which player(s) each team will pick.

It’s rare that analysts get these right. These projections are based on a combination of team needs, expected players available to fall to those respective teams and just a general feel for the board.

NFL analyst Bucky Brooks released his final first round mock draft for the 2021 draft, but interestingly enough, he didn’t include any Texas Longhorns to be selected in round one.

Offensive tackle Samuel Cosmi and pass rusher Joseph Ossai are both considered fringe first or second round players, but neither ended up in Brooks’ final mock.

In Brook’s top-5 rankings for each position, he mentions two Longhorns: Ossai is his No. 3 outside linebacker and Caden Sterns is listed as his No. 4 safety. There is a notable absence of Cosmi.

This is interesting considering Brooks had picked Ossai to go in the first round of his mock draft 1.0 previously. Obviously, you should take whatever mock draft with a grain of salt, but given Brooks’ connections and respect he has around the league, he might know more than he’s willing to let out.

It’s certainly possible that we will not see a Longhorn taken until day two of the draft.

Five Longhorns are selected in CBS Sports’ latest NFL mock draft

Ryan Wilson of CBSSports projects five Texas Longhorns drafted in his latest 7-round mock draft.

Finally, we’re one week away from the 2021 NFL draft. Eight players will be representing Texas throughout the three day event, but a few may become undrafted rookie free agents.

Joseph Ossai and Samuel Cosmi appear to be consensus locks to be taken in the first or second round of the draft. However, it gets a bit uncertain for the Texas prospects behind them.

In Ryan Wilson’s latest seven-round mock draft for CBS Sports, he predicts five Longhorns to be drafted. Here are his predictions for where each player will be taken off of the board:

Samuel Cosmi, Offensive Tackle: 2nd Round, 38th Overall, Cincinnati Bengals

Joseph Ossai, EDGE: 2nd Round, 54th Overall, Indianapolis Colts

Caden Sterns, Safety: 6th Round, 206th Overall, Indianapolis Colts

Ta’Quon Graham, Defensive Tackle: 7th Round, 242nd Overall, New England Patriots

Sam Ehlinger, Quarterback: 7th Round, 243rd Overall, Arizona Cardinals

We’ll have to wait one more week to see where any of these Texas players would be taken, but if five Texas players were to be drafted, it would be the most taken in a single draft by the school since the 2015 NFL draft which also had five players selected.

10 potential 2nd round picks for the Lions

10 potential 2nd round picks for GM Brad Holmes and the Lions to consider in the 2021 NFL draft

So much of the focus for the upcoming 2021 NFL draft is on the first round. But there are seven full rounds, and the Detroit Lions sit near the top of the second round with another critical pick.

Rookie GM Brad Holmes and the Lions need to get a player with the No. 41 pick who is capable of contributing right away and emerge as a good long-term starter at his position. No matter what happens in the first round, the new regime has to be ready to land an impact fit on Friday night of draft weekend, too.

Here are 10 players at various positions who generally project to be available when the Lions draft in the second round. Not all will be on the board when Holmes and his experienced braintrust make the pick, and the unknown first-round selection could render some of them moot.
