6 feet 4, 308 pounds

Here's what NFL.com says about Cousins:

At this point in the third round, Cousins is a good value. He's a converted defensive tackle that has solid skills along the offensive line and is a decent depth player at the pro level.

Pro Football Weekly's take on the Cousins pick:

UTEP OT Oniel Cousins is at least a year away from contributing but has all the physical attributes needed to start in the NFL. It may take a year to absorb a playbook and learn protection schemes, but if the light comes on, he could turn out to be a steal for the Ravens at the back of the third round.

Cousins was born in Jamaica before moving to the U.S. as a teenager. According to CBSSports.com, he never saw a football game until his sophomore year of high school. In college, he started out as a defensive tackle before switching to the offensive line. Cousins struggled as a left tackle starter in '06 and was replaced in the lineup. But he improved drastically as a senior when moved to right tackle.

2007 statistics: Earned All-Conference USA first-team honors. Had 78 knockdown blocks and allowed just three sacks on 440 pass plays.

Strengths: Versatility. Has played both tackle positions and can play guard. Has a big upside because he's still learning to play on the offensive line.

Weaknesses: Experience. Played his first two seasons at UTEP on the defensive line.
