In 2018, the Cleveland Browns saw rookies Baker Mayfield, Denzel Ward, and Nick Chubb all win weekly awards for their play as they gave the franchise hope for the future. It was a great return on investment for the club that spent the No. 1, 4, and 35 pick on those starting rookies.
What’s often forgotten about is there was another premium pick made by the Browns as they used the No. 33 overall selection on Austin Corbett from Nevada. After playing tackle in college, Corbett was expected to transition to guard in the NFL but wasn’t going to start over Joel Bitonio or Kevin Zeitler.
