Caleb Brantley. 25. player. 50. Florida always produces NFL-ready lineman as Sharrif Floyd, Dominique Easley and Jonathan Bullard are most recent. There is always a next guy and Caleb Brantley will be it for Florida in 2017. At 6’2″, 300 pounds, he disrupts opposing offenses with his quickness off the ball. <p>So in the NFL, Brantley’s best fit would come as a 3-technique, gap-shooting defensive tackle in a 4-3 defense. If you listen to the coaches in the SEC, Brantley is more disruptive than Bullard was. His stats won’t impress you because his scheme calls for him make plays for others.</p> <p>But if you watch him on tape, he is a dominant player and he’s close to unblockable one on one. In the running game, Brantley has the strength to shed blocks and burst to close on ball carriers. And as an interior pass-rusher, he requires extra attention, creating sacks for his teammates.</p> <p>Brantley is a 1st-round talent that’s starting to get 1st-round grades and he’s good for the Detroit Lions. The Lions miss Ndamukong Suh on the interior of that defensive front-7. And with this pick they can ease that a little as their current front-7 is a weakness.</p>. DT. Florida
