One point on which I’ll disagree is Cosmi. Too tall to play guard. Plays too upright, anyways. Guards need to be lower, thicker, squattier.
He’ll be a tackle—maybe not a great tackle, maybe a right tackle—but when all’s said and done, he’ll be a tackle.Our quarterback is a golden god.

Why are people saying its a committee approach? Wd have no idea what’s going on in the draft room. Obviously the OC and OL coach have no input. Or Rivers when he was here .
Screw River and his needs, he’s good enough to compensate.
Please don’t make the same mistake with Herbert.Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
The Wasted Decade is done.
Build Back Better.

plenty of guard material he is too good in space not in a phone booth.

Horn's 40 time has been reported as two different times and so I listed both times that I have read.
I disagree with the analysis you have offered regarding Horn. I think the penalty issue has been wildly overstated in negative commentary about him. I also think Ramsey, while definitely good, is slightly overrated.
Now, Horn will become a pretty good player, but I think he is going to get burned some in the short term. I just don't see guys like Horn who really are not into the mental side of being a CB, ever turning into the more cerebral type of players. I just don't see him ever being the Ramsey style of player because of it. I think you put him at outside CB, and then he stays as a L or R CB for the next 10 years, after a rough rookie season. And by rough I don't mean he is hopeless or anything, just that he is going to have the usual sort of up and down rookie year. But he needs S help against the top notch WR, he can't just get plopped down in the Star position, and travel all over the field..
Surtain is much slower and less athletic than Horn is. But he puts his body in better position and is a better player because he plays the field better. HE doesn't give a WR the position to get away from him. Surtain is in control, unlike Horn who is along for the ride with the WR. Surtain is more NFL ready. But he definitely doesn't have the man to man, coverage, range, speed to travel with everyone. I think he will be better initially, but may not have the upside of Horn long term, because of being less athletic, and not having as much speed, although he plays faster.
In short, if people are looking for a Star type of player in the Jalen Ramsey type of player, I don't think this draft has one. Most draft's don't.

Yeah, chasing Jalen Ramsey is a bad idea. I don't think there is a Jalen Ramsey in this draft.
I watched Horn vs. Auburn 2020 and Horn vs. Florida 2020 today. He is grabby for a lot of the reasons Steve was talking about. He will have to clean that up. But I think there's a bigger reason for not taking him @#13. He doesn't tackle very well. He doesn't seem interested in tackling and has very poor form. One time (vs. Florida) I was afraid he'd hurt himself. He didn't bend his knees at all and went into the tackle with his head down. He exposed his kneck and planted his helmet straight into the ground... very dangerous. He may be the Antonio Cromartie of tackling. Staley said he wanted CB's that can tackle. Surely he wasn't talking about Horn.
