Austin Corbett NFL Draft 2018: Scouting Report for Cleveland Browns' Pick
POSITIVES
āThree-year starter at left tackle but played both center and guard at the Senior Bowl.
āScouts raved about his football IQ and awareness. Considered NFL ready.
āOverall good athlete with the right build (6'4", 306 lbs) to play anywhere from left guard to right tackle in the NFL.
āLateral agility is great, and he plays with the burst and body control to be exceptional as a pulling guard.
āOne scout called him a finesse player, but the tape shows a finisher with a mean mentality in the run game.
āCan lock on and drive linebackers in the run.
āExperience at left tackle gave him a developed kick-slide and mirror.
NEGATIVES
āArm length is average for a tackle prospect (33 ā ").
āBench-press numbers at the combine (19 reps) were well-below the NFL threshold.
āSurrenders his chest to long-armed defenders.
āCan be set up by double moves and will get caught off balance in his set.
OVERALL
Every team likes Austin Corbett's versatility and experience. The key to his draft slot will be how franchises view his shorter arms and lack of strength. He still projects as an early starter, but more so as a left guard than a tackle.
GRADE: 6.95 (Round 2)
PRO PLAYER COMPARISON: Joel Bitonio, Cleveland Browns
