GAME FILM
#52 SAM COSMI VS TCU (2020)

Strengths: He has excellent height and a long wingspan that is typical for a blindside NFL tackle. He has good mobility to get outside as a pull blocker and reach the second level for blocking. He uses power for leverage in the run, blocking blowing out the defender. His best trait is pass blocking, and he can use his length for his leverage. Combined with athleticism and length, he maintains an excellent drop step to use his length to reach speedy edge rushers. Most pass rushers will not beat him on simplistic speed; he is too wise to fall for those tricks. On counter moves, he can recover quickly to protect inside gaps. 

Weaknesses: He will benefit better at the next level bulking up with 10-15 pounds; as we can see on film, bull and power rushers can apply issues. He plays like a gentle Ben and needs to play with more aggression. He needs to work on a better anchor and not lunge out at the defender at the next level. He needs work on his hand placement, as he does not react fast enough to the rusher. Tend to get his above the pad level as crafty defenders can use that to his disadvantage.

Draft Projection: 1st (Late) - 2nd Round

NFL Comparison: Taylor Decker (Detroit Lions)
