LBC mike Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 I am sure they did their investigation meaning the browns. He dropped a lot and they are rolling the dice with a low pick used. Some teams took injured guys that can't be at training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAFBF Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 If you have good eyes here's most of the story: https://www.seccountry.com/florida/gainesville-police-falsified-report-claim-caleb-brantley-case-absurd/amp The Police Report filed is more legible : http://tampabay.com/tbprojects/dcloud/dcloud-template.html?doc=3579840-Caleb-Brantley-incident-report Whole situation seems to be twisting all over the place. Definitely not a straight forward simple deal . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Sashi said in an interview that they are still looking into it, and will act accordingly later, but it was iffy enough that they took the late round chance. He was considered a first/second round pick before the alleged incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyceRolls Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Hmmm, well if it turns out Brantley is just the victim of another money grubbing hoe, I feel a lot better about the pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 So, I guess analytics told them to draft this guy. His Value in the Current Round is such that you Roll The Dice. Buzzz...Mmm.....Click.....Draft Him.....buzz...Mmm...Click. Danger Will Robinson.....Danger.... Ya know, with all the Compensatory picks added to the rounds it's probably like taking a flier on a mid-7th round pick. If he's cleared, you got a steal...if not, what have you really lost? We could've picked a different player who is most probably comparable to an undrafted FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudfly Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Gotta say, my wifey certainly shocked me today by defending Brantley......(she draws her expertise from Judge Judy)...hahaha After telling her the Brantley story, she basically said if the chicky hit him first....then all bets are off....knock da bitch out....

Noble? Guess so..... Actually, one report I've read she did just that - punched him in the mouth without warning. Not defending the guy, but there's too much questionable stuff going on here. The fact she admitted she lied, and then later her Lawyer wanted to settle for $ to make it all go away . . . This is a dirty situation, and right now has me thinking of the Turtle, the Scorpion, and the River Crossing . . . they're both going down. Another thought on this is that it could be a message/lesson to the Team/Future Draft prospects . . . they may have Drafted him to intentionally cut him. Cost of a 6th Rounder, but they had what, 11 picks going in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumby73 Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 When we open week 1 with Labia Bell playing joystick Madden in the backfield waiting on a hole filled by a rd.1 monster DT named Brantley..This will all go away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am certainly not talking about laying a beating on the bitch that she probably deserves like you would if a guy punched you in the mouth in a bar.

D Bone Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Actually, one report I've read she did just that - punched him in the mouth without warning Interesting. I guess sooner, rather than later, the investigation will conclude and we'll know the result one way or the other. I just know that for me, there would have been no way in hell that I would've turned his name in.... There had to be a kid with a similar athletic upside, but was maybe injured or played for a small school somewhere in that round, that we could've given the shot to. I hoped that my favorite team was one of the reported 'many teams' that took him completely off their boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Round 1 potential but injured badly his last season and we knew he had no chance to play the next year. I read he had a big time insurance policy on himself where he got paid big time if he wasn't a high draft choice. Must've taken the hunger right outta him because he got cut.
