Can not find a ranking on him but I did find this.....

Clemston Tiger offensive tackle Isaiah Battle has thrown his name into the ring for the up coming NFL Supplemental Draft. Battle states family matters as the deciding factor in making the leap. Battle started 11/12 games for the Tigers last year and was the cornerstone of their offensive line. With another solid year, the Clemson bigman was in position to be one of the top tackles in the 2016 NFL Draft, but will now leave NFL GMs with a tough decision in the next few weeks. No question he has talent to be and NFL offensive lineman and could end up being a steal depending on where he is selected.

Do you really want a lineman that gets kicked off his team before his Sr. Year due to discipline, and also gets so wrapped up in his own emotuions in a game that he throws a sucker punch on a 165lb CB?

That screams a guy who is selfish and impulsive and lets his team down. pass.

Supplemental draft... As in, "I'm a talented ****-up who's going to take the fastest route to the dumbass NFL team that expends a draft pick on on me so I can continue to ****-up in the NFL instead of facing consequences in college."

Yeah, last one since Josh Gordon. How did he work out?

I MIGHT throw a 7th at him.

If he turns out like Gordon I will DEFINITELY throw a 7th

If he's good enough to make the 53----- then yes throw a 6/7 at him.

Do not waste a 6/7 if you are going to put him on the PS------some other team will save their pick and sign him from your PS (if they have room on their 53)

or just wait and if no one drafts him sign him as a UDFA save the pick

I'll pass boys. If he doesn't have his act together well enough to remain on a college roster in the ACC, he definitely doesn't have what it takes to be an Atlanta Falcon. It's time to raise our standards, and I'm not talking about the Falcon filter. This team is going places under Quinn, and I don't want to give up a pick for a misfit that can't even make it in college.

i cant see a team throwing a 3-5 at a guy who is entering the supplemental draft due to burning bridges with his college team. With our current OT situation, I would bring him in as a developmental guy. Whether he can become a swing T or even eventually beat out Schreader, it is worth a 7th. He has more upside than Rogers for sure.

Any team dumb enough (a la Raiders and Browns) to throw a pick that high at someone with such obvious red flags, deserves exactly what they get.

NFL Media's Daniel Jeremiah guesses Clemson LT Isaiah Battle will be selected in the third-round of the Supplemental Draft "without any knowledge of character situation."



Battle was reportedly facing his third strike with the Clemson program after recently being cited for marijuana possession. He did start 11 of 12 games last season at left tackle, but we were not impressed when watching him. Battle has length and perhaps athleticism, but he lacks an anchor to hold up against power and waist bends/lacks balance against speed moves. That is not a good combination.

Looks like he would have been a late 1st rounder or second day pick if he had not screwed up.....
