BEREA, Ohio -- The Browns admitted on Tuesday that 2018 No. 33 overall pick Austin Corbett was a failed selection for them.

They traded Corbett to the Rams for an undisclosed draft pick.

The Browns originally felt Corbett could be their left tackle of the future. When it became apparent he was a guard, they traded starting left guard Kevin Zeitler to the Giants and penciled him in as the starter there. But Corbett failed to win the job out of training camp, and was relegated to backup center this year.

Glad Dorsey isnt afraid to admit a mistake, move on and get something in return.

Dang...

Good for Dorsey. That should quiet the "prefers his guys" crowd for a little bit.

So what did we get? A 5th? A 4th?

I’d be upset if it was anything worse than a 5th.

Ham sandwich bag o chips

5th for a guy who couldn't make the field in this group? You should be happy if we got a ham sandwich.

What those folks always fail to recognize is that after the first cutdown, they are ALL "his guys".


Well, he wasn't cutting it here. I hope we got something to at least make it worth our while.

I'm predicting we got a 5th.

Sad that the dude was drafted that high and doesn't even foot the bill for "depth". Oh well, moving on. Hopefully there was a lesson to be learned.

According to 92.3 The Fan, we get an undisclosed 2021 draft pick. It does bring the wisdom of trading Kevin Zeitler into question.

I'm more interested in who takes his roster spot.

might have been a decent pick as the Rams just lost their starting RG. Might have been a position of desperation...kinda like what we almost did for Huey's QB last year

While I’m taking the 2018 draft every time, this pick had major ramifications. We traded Zeitler because Corbett was supposed to be good.

What a sucky pick .. but glad that experiment is over if he sucks

I’d be shocked if it’s more than a conditional seventh round pick.

we may have even swapped a 7th for a 6th

I was under the impression that Corbett was slotted to take over for Tretter whenever that time came. This, also, apparently is not happening.

Corbett was only on the roster because he was a second round pick. He was so bad that there was no chance he was in the future plans.

Thanks for the memories, Austin Corbett!

I'll never forget those 15 snaps.

Seemed like a super nice guy.

How so? He literally preferred his guy to Zeitler so much he traded Zeiter. This is the perfect example of it.

j/c...

What.

I think I'm four for four this year... including the 3rd for Duke.

I hope it's not a first rounder. I hope it's not a first rounder. I hope it's not a first rounder.....

Wow. Great job by the front office getting some value for a player who had no future with the team.

I predicted a 7th conditional 6th. Better than I thought. It wasn't a state secret he was stinking it up and we have nothing but golden opportunities for OLmen with skill. He did not impress in preseason and couldn't take the job. .

Oh my god it better not be. He's 31 with health issues.

Wow, Trent

This was a horrible pick.

Every day my faith in John Dorsey sinks a little more.

Never thought I would ever say that.

Kitchens looks like a bad hire right now. Baker looks like a 1 read QB who is slower than molasses, etc.

Actually, Nick Chubb from the 2018 draft looks like his only good pick here at the bye.

I actually find myself yearning for Sam Darnold these days.

We are getting a roster spot for Trent

It's a 5th... in 2021. Which, if you understand the time value of money (and assets) is probably something like a 6th or 7th in 2020. I'm sure there's a Jimmy Johnson graph for year on year draft values somewhere. Too lazy to go find.

I'd feel better about this if the guy only had a blue checkmark next to him ...

He’s a beat reporter for the Browns. He was first on OBJ. He also said we were signing Gerald McCoy.

.

It never ceases to amaze me how so many members of the Cleveland media try to stir-up controversy for the Browns.

This franchise has drafted the likes of Corey Coleman, Mingo, Manziel, Gilber, Weeden, Peppers, Trich, Brady Quinn, etc, etc and all have failed to varying degrees.

Dorsey has brought in a ton of talent and the media is going to make a comment like that about a second round pick.

It's hard to root for the Browns, at times. There is just so much bad karma that surrounds the team. We're always talking about firing coaches, creating controversy, playing the blame game, still holding on to Regime Wars, etc, etc.

Sorry for the rant, but damn man.

Wasn’t it a failed selection?

I feel like Dorsey is panicking.

Yes ... I don't think the wording is wrong or overly negative. Dorsey has been insanely good so far in his time at Cleveland. It's inevitable that you miss on picks - nothing wrong with that, unless you are 'always' missing more than you hit by a large margin.
