Dupre Draft Analysis

ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Has desired size and athletic ability. Experienced at multiple receiver spots. More talented than production would dictate. Tracks the deep throws like an outfielder and can adjust catch positioning without taking his eye off the ball. Consistently solid catch rate throughout his career. Adjusts to low throws and balls behind him to make the catch. Looks to turn it up the field quickly after the catch. Dips low and drives through cornerbacks while stretching for additional yardage. Small sample size during freshman season gave hints of his downfield potential.
WEAKNESSES Lacks upfield juice into his routes. Vertical push doesn't appear to threaten cornerbacks. Needs to play faster off the snap. Slow to sink and open on curls. Needs a greater commitment to nuances of route-running in order to improve his separation. Tends to tip his hand early allowing cornerbacks to match his patterns. Stalk-blocker with marginal aggression and sustain after initial contact.
SOURCES TELL US "I was asked by someone at the school about where he would be drafted if he came out and I told them on the third day. I recommended he go back to school. His size is interesting but I don't see a fast player." - NFC Personnel Director
BOTTOM LINE Big target who has suffered from arrested development due, in part, to quarterback inconsistencies at LSU. Dupre is a developmental receiver with some upside but it could take some time before he's ready to contribute. Could be a potential third or fourth wide receiver with time and coaching.

I'm not sure his what lead to his decision, but I sure wish he would have come back for one more year. He could have used another year with better offensive coaching and playcalling.

The rating for Dural is higher than Dupre. I feel bad for Dural because I don't think he ever fully recovered from the hammy last year. He admitted in the offseason that he ate too much Popeye's though. Maybe Dupre saw Dural's draft grade come in lower from his junior season and though he might as well take the gamble.

Dupre was given a 1st or 2nd rd grade.

6'2" 196. He's going to need to blow the doors off of the 40, vertical, and the gauntlet.

He jumped 42.4" in HS at The Opening in the vert and ran a 4.58.
If he does that again and runs low/mid 4.5's, he'll make some moooney.

I know. I was thinking 4th or 5th. He doesnt run great routes. He doesnt high point the ball.he isnt a 4.3 guy. He had trouble with his hands his entire career at lsu. I have no idea how he got those
