The Washington Football Team selected offensive tackle Samuel Cosmi out of Texas 51st overall in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
Cosmi is coming off the best college season of his career, according to PFF. The first-team All-Big 12 blocker is the first Longhorns player taken in 2021.
Washington allowed 50 sacks last year, which was the NFL's second-worst mark. The club drafted former Kentucky linebacker Jamin Davis in the first round Thursday.
Draft profile
Ideal position: Left tackle
Cosmi is an out-of-this-world athlete for his position - he tested as a 94th percentile SPARQ athlete or higher in every drill aside from the vertical jump (69th percentile). But athleticism will only get you so far. The former Longhorn is a step or two below the 2021 class' elite because he lacks a complete game. Cosmi's pass-blocking technique is somewhat sloppy even after he started for three full seasons, leaving him susceptible to defenders using a bull rush or speed-to-power. Still, tackles like Cosmi don't enter the NFL every year. If he lands on the right team, there's high-end starter potential here.
