"Cosmi has been one of the most tested tackles in the country and has improved every single year of his career. He allowed all of eight pressures on 368 pass-blocking snaps this past season."

I don't really hate him. I just think there are better options. I believe he's overrated, based on the Texas games I watched last year. He does have much better feet than Robinson. I'd rather have other OT's, but if it were a choice between Cosmi and Robinson, I take Cosmi. At least Cosmi has a chance to get better. Robinson's slow feet will always limit him. I just see Cosmi as a mid 2nd round pick, rather than a 1st rounder.

I have watched a lot of Texas too, and I think you are having trouble separating his true pass sets with all of the silly stuff they do...for lack of a better word. Cosmi has always looked really good as a pass blocker on traditional NFL style plays to me, and the stats back it up. I do wish he played with more of a mean streak and finished blockers off better after he handled them, but I'm happy with him just being a really good if not a little too finesse of a blocker.
