Ibleedbrown Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Top pick of round 2. But why? Expel your opinions please. Pretty high pick for a Guard. Wasn’t Bitonio from Nevada? Is there something about Nevada guards that are special? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiamat63 Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Haven't watched him but I'm about too. I'm sure our resident Oline expert will chime in soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboJones Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 I'd guess they're just going with who they think is the BPA instead of position of need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louisville Slugger Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Some sites have him listed as a center. I don't like this pick with so many higher rated players on the board. Can't complain too much I like 3 of the 4 picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cambridgeho Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Could battle for left tackle as well. Played lt in college along with every other position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsympathetic Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 He started 2 seasons at LT at Nevada.. he's the first crack at replacing JT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Oven Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 The draft guide I have compares him to former Browns OL John Greco... Corbett might compare to former John Greco, who played tackle for the Toledo Rockets but did so with a frame better suited to guard, leaving as a four-year standout just like Corbett.

Tour2ma Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 I can't see Corbett at OT... Williams' arm-length at 33" became an issue. Corbett's? 33-1/8" Williams' 7.83 sec. 3-cone was testament to his feet. Corbett's? 7.87... He ain't Bito... looks like inside depth to me...

Not saying he is Joe or he will be a good left tackle. He was not over drafted, hell from what I have been reading, he is a beast and is a diamond im the rough. We will see.

I mean, first pick of round 2 worthy? There was a bit of a run on interior O line guys in the first round, which l thought was surprising. I get Nelson who is viewed as generational talent and all. But under normal circumstances, isn’t if your are going Guard p1 of r2, isn’t that guy at minimum the second best Guard in the draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No... that honor was Will Hernandez's (UTEP)... And third in my book was Isaiah Wynn (UGA). 4th? Getting warm, but I thought it was close between Corbett and Auburn's Braden Smith. 23 minutes ago, cambridgeho said: Joe Thomas has 33" arm length as well.

Maybe he competes there, but Tretter really came on last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Oven Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 We all seem to think Corbett was drafted to possibly be the LT of the future, but a lot of people seem to think that while he was a tackle in college, he probably projects as a guard in the pros. (Just like fellow Nevada player Joel Bitonio) Maybe he wasn't brought in to replace Thomas, but instead one of the existing guards? Dorsey holds no allegiance to either.
