Cortez is an explosive disrupter who has the skillset, power, heavy hands, and 1st 2 steps that can't be taught. He will refine his technique, hand placement, and play reco early in his career.
I look for him to have a very solid rookie campaign.My 2021 Adopt-A-Bolt List

College schemes are much more simplistic than what the NFL runs. The assignments themselves are not that much more difficult, but they expect the players to be more thoughtful about their reactions to all the reads the players are making. And there is the big step in technique. Good technique is college is not very good for the NFL. And it is a big step up in terms of competition. It is not going to be a foregone conclusion that he can develop.
Still, the best way to develop is to get lots of reps, and the earlier the better. A lot of late round picks turn into decent players if they can simply last long enough to continue to get the reps they need to fix their technique problems and to learn how to read NFL plays as they develop. Most 7th round picks won't get the chance to get as many reps as Cortez will get here in OTA's.
