kas, I really do like his skills and think he'll be a fine prospect for another team. For the Pats however, I get an uneasy feeling from reading how he was arrested in LA in 2005 on suspicion of rape. And that police also found 136 Ecstasy pills in his apartment. Charges were never filed -- but do we really want to take a chance?
I've been wrong before, but Wright is off my board as a character risk -- not as a talent.
Ya, I know about the rape and the pills. But look, kids make mistakes all the time. Definitely not condoning his actions, but to say BB wouldn't draft him solely because of those red flags is a little extreme I think. Let's put it this way - if BB/Pioli interview and speak to his coaches and feel as if he has "turned the corner" in his life, then I could definitely see him being a solid pick early in round 2 or even at the end of round 1. We've drafted guys with problems in their history before, and as of now the front office has pretty much perfect in spotting guys who have put such issues behind them.
