Part 6/8:
Delving into the defensive tackle landscape, Cosell highlighted several intriguing prospects. Walter Nolan from Ole Miss was noted for his brute strength and the ability to dominate offensive linemen. Cosell compared his abilities to those of Jalen Carter, suggesting Nolan possesses the tools necessary for a successful NFL career, particularly for teams looking for interior pressure.
Contrasting with more physically imposing tackles like Nolan, Mason Graham from Michigan showcases athleticism and quickness but lacks the same level of pass-rushing ability seen in some of his peers. A common theme in many of Cosell's evaluations was the pivotal nature of technique over mere physical presence and measurable stats.
