3-4 years ago, I dreamed of the Rams having the opportunity to draft this kid. His rise was meteoric, and he has the tools & talent to be taken in the first 10 rounds of a draft. The comparisons to Randy Moss were (and can still be) justified.
Now, I have nightmares of the Rams drafting him. The pothead friends I knew when I was growing up rarely cared about the consequences of their drug habit, & felt persecuted by those who couldn't depend on them. I hate venting about anyone, but growing up in Springfield MO, I had a lot of local pride in DGB, talked him up to co-workers, had friends who went to his high school who followed his career closely, etc. When the news stories broke about him, I was extremely disappointed; getting booted off the Mizzou squad was the nail in his coffin, for me anyways.
I'm not saying he can't change, or that he can't be (or become) dependable, but if I were the Rams GM I wouldn't touch this kid with a 1,000 ft pole. I see multiple drug suspensions in his future, and any GM that drafts this kid w/ a 2nd round pick puts his career in jeopardy. Janoris has turned out OK (no suspensions to date), so if they do draft him, it must be that Snead/Fisher believe they can manage him well, based on their 'success' so far w/ Janoris. (as long as they can somehow keep him off Twitter...
)
