A model recently introduced by Jaffe and Wilczek based on the quarks being dynamically bound into diquarks has been used to predict that the recently observed exotic baryons (pentaquarks) fall into a nearly ideally mixed combination of an octer and anti-decuplet representations of SU(3) flavor. The model predicts two states with nucleon quantum numbers which have tentatively been identified with the N*(1440) and the N*(1710). This paper examines the viability of this model by focusing on the decay width of the nucleon members of the multiplet. An inequality relating the partial widths of these nucleon states in the N+nucleon channel to the width of the theta+ is derived for this model under the assuming ideal mixing and that the only significant exact SU(3) symmetry violations are the result of ideal mixing, threshold effects and the masses of pseudo-Goldstone bosons. This inequality is badly violated if the states in the multiplet are the N*(1440) and the N*(1710) and if the recent bounds extracted for the theta+ width are reliable. Thus, the model appears to require a scenario with the existence of at least one presently unknown resonance with nucleon quantum numbers.
