LSU's Claude Wroten 2nd pick????

***LARAM*** · -04-17-2006

What do some of you think about LSU's Claude Wroten for a 2nd round pick. I know there are other pressing needs. But this guy may fall to the 2nd round. He is definately an iffy pick even if he does fall to the mid 2nd round.

He ruined his reputation with a recent Marijuana arrest a couple of months ago. He was charged with Possession with intent to distribute Marijuana (a felony) after a police traffic stop on north Louisiana. However the charges will more then like likely be dropped to a misdemeanor, because he had less then two onces of the marijuana.

He brings much baggage with him. He was previously projected as a 1st rounder. He was a beast at LSU.

What are the rams needs at the DT position? Would they take such a possible steal at this pick....Is it worth it??? The top three tight ends could be off the board at this point anyway.

If we haven't taken a DT in round one, he's a possibility in the second, certainly.

***rampete*** · -04-17-2006

he is a very good DT for a penetrating gap-one type system...he reminds me of demarco farr...

i don't know much about his off-field problems except that he is a habitual offender in narcotics...

i don't any team will touch him, except oakland perhaps, until the third round...

I'll pass.

He'd be a great pick if all of the top TEs are gone.

Wow, do you have a source on that one?

***rampete*** · -04-17-2006

well, i may've worded that rather unfairly, but maryjane is a lifelong friend, once you get to know her...

here's a link to his jan. arrest:

Yeah, I would say the wording was pretty far off. Not only is marijuana not addictive, but it's definitely not a narcotic. Furthermore, I believe the distribution charges were dropped based on the amount he was in possession of.

***rampete*** · -04-17-2006

thanks for the correction nick...

but i wouldn't go so far as to say that it's not addictive...

***LARAM*** · -04-17-2006

The local word among LSU fans down here is that, Claude Wroten will probably have the charges dropped to a misdemeanor. Therefore, he will probably be facing a minimal sentence or just fines and probabtion.

Hopefully he can grow up be mature considering he's about to be a millionaire.
