Jabrill, Brantley and Browns' Management
With the Browns drafting Brantley, their defensive rookie class could turn the team around. Peppers has always shown great leadership abilities, whether during games or practices or conditioning. He should be able to help maximize the contributions of his fellow defensive rookies.
However, the Browns' management may not give him the chance to assist Brantley get back on track. Apparently, they are already saying they may release Brantley from the team; that they haven't talked to Brantley about the incident, that if their "investigation" turns up information not to their liking, they will cut him. http://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2017/story/_/id/19274225/2017-nfl-draft-cleveland-browns-draft-caleb-brantley-release-him
Exactly this. He was originally mocked as a potential 1st round pick. Why not take a chance in the 6th, especially when they've already had so many picks this draft. It is odd that they release the statement, but I imagine its the PR department preemptively covering their ass from backlash.
kizer is a high ceiling type prospect, just not sure hes #1 in that department this QB class - hes obviously talented though and will have every opportunity to reach his potential so hell be an interesting dude to follow

Who are you thinking?
The dude punched a woman in the face. I would hope he gets fucking cut.
I have no idea what this has to do with Jabrill...and why would he be mentoring a fellow draftmate his first year in the NFL? Wouldn't he focus on his own job and let the vets mentor them both?
I'm so lost.
Here's where it COULD impact Jabrill:
If the Browns get true #1 overall performance out of Garrett and then Brantley's issues clear up and he delivers on his first round talent, that is suddenly a monster DL playing in front of Jabrill. Could well pave the way to him being a big part of an elite D.
At least, that's what I'm guessing the OP had in mind.
Sidenote...Bengals pick up Mixon and Browns draft Brantley.
WTF is up with Ohio?
Extremely high reward potential for next to nothing (6th round pick) risk. If charged - cut. If charges not made (and the security guard has already said he'll contridict the woman's version of what happned) then the Browns get 1sr round talent for a 6th round pick.
Days of laughing at the Browns and Browns management are OVER

From reports, she rushed him and swung first. From there reports differ. Several witnesses claim that he just raised his arm to protect himself, then pushed her out of the way. Of course her lawyer says otherwise.
The fact that she wanted to settle out of court, sounds more like gold digging. He refused, prefering to clear his name. In this respect, it is a bit similar to the Jourdan Lewis case, where he also chose to go to court.
Best to let the court settle this, before drawing a hasty conclusion.
