Draft Scouting Report

Rating: 70.70 (Roster depth)
Pro Comparison: Nick Gates
Summary

Eli Cox is a tall, quick center with solid lateral mobility and good quickness off the snap, though his frame occasionally lacks control. While he shows the ability to regain balance after a slip, his anchor is a major concern, particularly against swim moves and when leaning into blocks. He flashes a mean streak, but it’s not a defining feature yet. In pass protection, Cox is more patient than aggressive, struggling with power and consistency in his anchor. His hands and pad level need refinement, and he’ll need to add strength to hold up against NFL defenders. With improvement in these areas, Cox has the potential to develop into a reliable center, though he’s a work in progress.
