Cleveland Browns: The interesting case of Austin Corbett’s future

The Cleveland Browns had a big decision to make during the 2018 off-season at the left tackle position. Future Hall-of-Famer Joe Thomas had just retired, and their free agent targets decided to sign elsewhere.

Entering the week of the draft, the most likely starter at left tackle would have been Spencer Drango. That changed on the second night of the draft when the Browns selected Austin Corbett with the 33rd overall selection.

Most scouts envisioned the University of Nevada left tackle to be kicked inside in the NFL, as they did not believe he had the length to manage NFL edge rushers.
