The Tavern Brawler feat would be a good pick. The reason being if you use your attack to knock your target prone, Tavern Brawler lets you use your bonus action to grapple them making speed 0 and requiring them to lose a turn to attempt to break the grapple or remain at disadvantage to all melee attacks if within 5ft, Also you get strength or constitution +1. So with one turn you can setup multiple attacks with advantage for you and your team.... I would say that is worth the lose of +1 to the strength stat (since you can get on from the feat anyway). While not 100% reliable with expertise in athletics the rogue will have a +7 to grapple checks at level 1 which will only go up (to as much as +17 at level 20) and still be useful when targeting casters, rogues, and archers which likely don't have more than a +2 even late game. There will be times when your fighting a creature of a size greater than large but even late game medium size strength based monsters are going to have issues beating a +17 grapple check.Edit: I for some reason confused the Grappler Feat with the Tavern Brawler feat and fixed the comment to reflect that intent.</blockquote>
