        Zachariah Branch Arrested Less Than A Week Before Draft

        WR Zachariah Branch was arrested following Georgia's spring game and charged with obstructing public sidewalks/streets and obstructing a law enforcement official, Connor Riley of Dawg Nation reports. Branch was booked at 1:26 am on Sunday and released on $39 bond at 3:44. Both charges are misdemeanors.

        Dynasty Impact

        This doesn't sound like an overly serious incident, but it certainly won't help Branch's stock with the draft less than a week away.

        It's worth noting that we didn't hear of any character concerns with Branch prior to this. He even served as a game captain three times last season, per The Athletic's Dane Brugler.

        Branch had been expected to go on Day 2 of the draft. We'll see if this arrest results in a tumble.

        We've been below consensus on Branch, largely because of how he produced in college. For more, check out his dynasty prospect profile.
