Round 2, Pick #33 Austin Corbett, OL Nevada

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Lots to like about Corbett in the second preseason game.

It's so fun watching the light go on for a rookie. Corbett was strong in both run blocking and pass blocking for the Tyrod drives, really moving people. In the early Mayfield drives he got caught standing around because Buffalo wasn't lining anybody in front of him, overloading the right side. New goals for week three, but when he has an assignment in the run game he knocked the opponent back.
Corbett looked like a completely different player in game 2 compared to the opener.

Very nice to see him made the quick adjustment.

Bitonio to my untrained eyes looks more than capable at LT.

Chris Hubbard is a massive upgrade on the right side.

Drango, Coleman and Robinson aren’t guys you want to have to rely on as starters, but it is preferable to have NFL experience on the bench in case of injury rather than late rounders or UDFAs.
Great observations, fellas.

It’s important to note that he spent a lot of OTA time and early camp working at backup LT, and not as much at guard.

Having never played on the interior in college, it’s an adjustment.

I was very pleased with his work in the second week of the preseason. He realized some of the mistakes he made and realized how quick things develop inside.

He’s going to be a very good NFL guard. I’m excited to let him continue to evolve.

He’s the exact type of player whom you live with the good and the bad and trust that he’s smart enough to make corrections.
 
He and Cam Erving are inspirations
 
Did we give up on him too soon?

The easy answer is yes, but sometimes players need to get cut or traded to get the wake up call they need to start taking things seriously.

Corbett was absolutely horrible with the Browns. Maybe he would have developed had they kept him, but maybe he wouldn’t have.

Some guys just take to different coaching a lot better as well. Look at Wyatt Teller.
