At first I was a little surprised and maybe disappointed.
However I read Cosmi is an excellent athlete with size. His PFF pass pro scores are good. Cosmi ran the fastest 40-yard dash for an offensive lineman at his pro day. He ran the 40 in 4.84 seconds.
Seems like a guy that with help from John Matsko, will develop over time.
Cosmi played HS ball in Texas and College ball in UT, so he has played against top level competition.

Read THIS: (bolded)


Washington Football Team selected Texas OT Samuel Cosmi with the No. 51 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Cosmi (6’7/310), ranked outside the top-100 OTs in his recruiting class by the 247Sports composite, vastly exceeded expectations in college as a three-year starter and two-time All-Big 12 selection. Cosmi played LT and RT in Austin, and comes with more than enough athleticism to be a potential option on the left side in the NFL. Cosmi tested as the second-most athletic RAS tackle to enter the NFL since 1987. Cosmi's 40 (4.87), broad jump (9’9), short shuttle (4.39) and bench (36) all ranked top-15 all-time for tackles. Cosmi moves like a tight end and has plenty of upper-body pop, with a veteran's understanding of his assignments. But hip stiffness causes Cosmi to play too high, which can sap him of power and teeter his balance. And with 33-inch arms (same as Rashawn Slater), Cosmi doesn’t have the reach his height suggests. Opponents erase Cosmi’s athletic and strength advantages when they win the leverage battle and get him on his heals, which K'Lavon Chaisson did in the 2019 opener. We see Cosmi similarly to Taylor Decker, a former first-rounder who’s been an above-average player his entire four-year NFL career, if never dominant.
