Brantley's Assault Charge Dismissed
-
This is great news.
-
He didn't start that much for Florida did he? It still wouldn't surprise me if he didn't even make the team.
He was given a second/third round grade. Considered anywhere from 5th to 10 best DT. Ogunjobi was rated from 3rd to 7th best.
Like every single other player on this team, rookie/veteran whatever he has to prove himself. I don't see a reason to be negative about him...now that his legal issues seem cleared up.
It appears that we got a guy that is rated much better than where we drafted him.

Depends who you ask, some people thought he was a bit over rated and lacked any real production that warranted the high grade to start with.

1 out of 100? We spent a fucking 6th round pick on a guy that was generally anticipated by nearly ALLLLLLLLLLLL pundits to go much higher than that. Quit griping.

I'm guessing Desmond Bryant is the guy who get sacrificed. He makes too much money and he's too old. If Brantley shows he's worth keeping, I'm guessing Desmond Bryant is history. Makes me sad because he's a good dude that suffered a freak injury last year. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see who else gets the axe.

Not seeing that, jiggy... Five DTs feels right.
My safe choices include Danny, Des, Ogund and Brantley. Both of the latter have the potential to play either spot, the 0/1 or the 3.
Leaves Stample, Meder, Cooper and Wright battling for the 5th spot. The first pair offer added, dual DT spot versatility where the final pair offer 3 DT and 5 DE versatility.
Coley looks PS bound...

Shaping up well on the DL, if McCourty plays FS I believe we have covered most of the D. Need a monster LB in the next draft.
FYI: Brantley was never charged with any crime, title indicates he was.

do you really think the Browns would had taken the backlash they did for drafting him in the first place if they thought he would not make the damn team
-
Florida's D was the heart of their team the last few years. Brantley was one of my top choices for at least late 2nd round if he was still there which I doubted before the bad news broke. This makes me very happy to add another weapon and depth to what we needed most, a real D line. That is usually the heart of great SB teams.

Caleb has good hands, quickness, and agility. The main problem is that his motor is dogshit. I've seen plays where he was walking behind the play before it was over. I've seen other plays where Caleb got great penetration and then broke into a lazy jog while pursuing the QB. Then there are plays in which Brantley will barrel through the line to blow up a run play before it even begins. At times it seems that unless Caleb hits someone immediately, he won't have much of an impact on the play. There's some mathematical equation in there somewhere with the length of the play having an inverse relationship with Brantley's impact on said play.
If Williams can light a fire under his ass this will be a huge win for the Browns. By only investing a 6th round pick, Brantley will feel the pressure of the chopping block. If Williams and the pressure to make an NFL roster can't get the kid to play his ass off, oh well. I wouldn't lose any sleep over a 6th rounder getting cut.

Good rotational player maybe

You know what I'm sick of? I'm sick of people saying "Caleb needs to learn from this and prove he's a better person" or whatever Even the state attorney said something like, "It might not be morally acceptable, but due to the 'stand your ground' law, he did nothing illegal." WHAT THE HELL are they talking about? There's been two or three awful incidents in the past two years where women got drunk and started a physical confrontation with football players, and they snapped and knocked the women out. The FSU QB and Joe Mixon come to mind. In both cases, the women hit them first, but the men hit back insanely hard and that was that. However, in THIS case we appear to have a very similar situation (from what we've gathered through evidence), but in THIS case Caleb Brantley hits physically and verbally attacked, but "shoves" the assailant off of him. He didn't give her the peace maker. He did the RIGHT THING. But is anybody saying that? Is anybody saying, "Wow, this giant man showed incredible restraint by not knocking out this money-grubbing twit when she put her hands on him." No, I haven't seen that once. This is a guy who showed the world that he didn't need to hit women, and all that happened was he went from a 2nd to 3rd round pick, to a 6th round pick that was vilified for months. Everything he worked his entire life for was basically taken from him. His big moment...gone.
I hope he makes the team, shows he's a good man, and plays well. Oh, and I hope he sues that bitch into the ground.

Some of this same stuff has been said about Garrett. And let's put it this way with Brantley: he will be a rotation guy. If he is to take plays off it will be because he is on the bench backing up Shelton/Ogunjobi/Meder/Bryant...or whomever else we have there in the interior. With these other guys in the mix he will have to prove that he deserves playing time. And he won't prove that by being "lazy" for sure.

Whatever. The Browns perhaps benefit by it. That is all that concerns me.

I thought "stand your ground" only applied if you shot someone... /s
can i buy a Coley? who you talkin bout Tman?
#93 Coley, Trevon DL 6'-1 310# 22-yo 1 (yr as a Pro) Florida Atlanticdo you really think the Browns would had taken the backlash they did for drafting him in the first place if they thought he would not make the damn team
Yes... I do.I also believe any "backlash", had his situation gone the other way, would have been grossly misplaced.

Yup... early burst most plays, but not a lot of continued fight, if that initial burst is blunted. -
Great news both for the player and the team.
Most picks beyond round4 usually don't make the final roster.. so it makes sense to take the risk that he could be a decent rotation player, which would far outperform the round6 draft slot.
As to all the hoopla about the woman.. this is similar to backing slowly out of a driveway [or a parking spot] with your view obstructed and some walker-by getting shocked at you even though you didn't hit them. In other words, nothing to see here.
