Browns take Austin Corbett to open 2nd round of NFL draft

The Cleveland Browns have selected offensive lineman Austin Corbett out of Nevada with the first pick in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Corbett brings great versatility to the Browns as he can play both tackle or guard on the offensive line. With Joe Thomas opting to retire, Corbett will immediately bring depth at a crucial spot for the AFC North club.

After taking Baker Mayfield with the first overall pick on Thursday, the pick of Corbett brings the new quarterback a new protector for next season.

What the analysts are saying

• "Corbett is definitely sharp enough to move inside to guard or center and has good technique, but his average play strength and lack of length may be a concern." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
• "Shows good quickness off the ball, initiating the contact with defenders in the running game and showing good upper-body strength, including an explosive punch." - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
