POSITIVES
—Three-year starter at left tackle but played both center and guard at the Senior Bowl.
—Scouts raved about his football IQ and awareness. Considered NFLready.
—Overall good athlete with the right build (6'4", 306 lbs) to play anywhere from left guard to right tackle in the NFL.
—Lateral agility is great, and he plays with the burst and body control to be exceptional as a pulling guard.
—One scout called him a finesse player, but the tape shows a finisher with a mean mentality in the run game.
—Can lock on and drive linebackers in the run.
—Experience at left tackle gave him a developed kick-slide and mirror.


NEGATIVES
—Arm length is average for a tackle prospect (33 ⅛").
—Bench-press numbers at the combine (19 reps) were well-below the NFL threshold.
—Surrenders his chest to long-armed defenders.
—Can 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

Those tangibles look promising for our interior line since they currently look soft in run blocking

I saw the college measurables, but has the kid played games in the NFL, and if he has, was he any good?

Read the article on him from page 1 that someone had posted. Hopefully we sent a late draft pick as this guy couldn't beat out Eric "Smack the butt so I know you're ready to play football" Kush.

The Corbett trade saves something in the neighborhood of $5M this year when coupled with Kenny Young's '19 salary (<$750K).

Leaves a hole at DB, which with the cap savings stirs the tea leaves and makes you think they may be targeting Ramsey in a yet-to-come deal.

WTH....here a trade, there a trade, everywhere a trade!

The Browns traded Corbett, the No. 33 overall pick in the 2018 draft, to the Rams on Tuesday for an undisclosed 2021 selection.

Corbett was viewed as a potential long-term answer at left tackle when the Browns took him with the first pick of the second round — two before nabbed star running back Nick Chubb. But Corbett hasn't developed as quickly as the Browns had hoped and general manager John Dorsey decided it was time to move him.
The 6-foot-3, 306-pounder played in 11 games as a rookie, making one start. Corbett appeared in three games this season.
Corbett was given a shot to win the starting job at right guard at training camp, but he was beaten out by Eric Kush. He's been listed as Cleveland's backup center behind JC Tretter.
Dorsey found a trade partner in the Rams, who have been in the market for a starting left guard since Joe Noteboom suffered a season-ending right knee injury during their loss to San Francisco on Sunday.
Los Angeles also needed to add some depth up front. Jamil Demby has been the sole backup at both guard spots, and he hasn't played particularly well in his chances to fill in for Noteboom and Austin Blythe.
The Rams' line was a durable strength of coach Sean McVay's offense during his first two seasons, but the entire group has taken a noticeable step back in 2019. Los Angeles elected to part ways with two key veterans — left guard Rodger Saffold and center John Sullivan — while replacing them with 2018 draftees Noteboom and center Brian Allen, but neither newcomer has impressed.
