| I like Cossell and I envy the fact that he has all access tape, but I disagree with some of his takes, especially on Gilmore and Barron, but he sees them actually play so who knows. |

He didn't bash 2/3 of Cleveland's picks? He must be terrible...

The fact that his tweet following the Titans pick talked about Shea was a bit disappointing.

| I found his tweets about the Bengals' three picks very insightful. |

I agree with the first half of what you said. But like anyone else, he's merely pointing out what he thinks makes a great football player. The fact that he had Stephon Gilmore the third player off the board ahead of Morris Claiborne was a bit odd, and then the fact that he had Janoris Jenkins going off the board at five tends to lead me to believe he doesn't really have connections to NFL teams like other writers do. I realize he did it solely off of what he saw on film, but that isn't what it's about. I feel like he did this based on shock value with some of the picks.

Don't always agree with him, but always fascinated by what he has to say - the sign of a great analyst I'd say.

| I actually agree with him that Luck's not a finished product yet, and I consider that a good thing. As good as he is now, there's still upside there. |

He did his mock draft based on what he would do as GM of each of those teams. Cosell didn't factor in character concerns or anything like that. He also didn't try and predict what is actually going to happen.

I respect what Cossell has to say. Unlike many of the self-appointed draft experts on this site, he has watched more than just you-tube clips of these players.

This, I respect his opinion, because it's purely based on the film. Not the Combine, not off the field stuff.

I agree with about 95% of what he said. I don't know about Weeden being the "best pocket passer," but for the most part he's spot on.
