8. Caleb Brantley, DT (Florida)

Brantley is a little under the radar but he should be a first round pick. The Florida Gators nose guard is as special talent. How a 6’2″ 297 pound nose guard has this many moves is beyond explanation. He has a great rip move. A great swim move, his bull rush is nasty and his spin move is Dwight Freeney like. He uses this great repertoire to get penetration up the middle of the backfield.

If the Ravens wanted Brantley it wouldn’t be because of need. They just locked up Brandon Williams for the next five years. They have Micheal Pierce as well. This isn’t just a list of options for the purple and black, it’s a look at ten players that are the real deal. These are players that will come in and make an impact on day one.

Brantley totaled 20.5 tackles for a loss and 5.5 sacks in three years with the Gators. He is SEC tested and ready for the NFL.
