His knowledge of how to play tackle is leagues beyond everybody in this draft, including Sewell.
His feet are pretty good, but his hands are outstanding. He knows how to get to his spot and stymie hand-fighters. He anticipates counter moves and even if he loses on the first step, which can happen quite often against the smaller, faster rushers, he compensates with his mastery of technique.
The big problem with Eichenberg is manageable: he's not athletic enough to really dominate people on screens, but we've gotten away from screens anyway.
Cosmi needs to learn the position a bit more, but once he's coached up, he should be outstanding, with a higher ceiling. The problem with him is he has no sand in the pants and he's going to be absolutely victimized by bigger passrushers his rookie year. He's 6'7" and is pretty much an automatic loss against bullrushes. His footwork is outstanding, though, easily one of the best outside of Sewell and Slater.
