I kept seeing how Dupre was rated higher as NFL WR prospect than Dural but does anyone else not agree with this?

This isn't a knock on Dupre but IMO Dural is physical, displayed better hands, great after the catch and faster. What am I missing here?

I agree. I also thought Landry was better than OBJ. IMO

Reminds me of Landry/OBJ.... Although Dupre/Dural aren't nearly as accomplished college players.

Neither of them were impressive this season. Both will be mid to late round picks.

Dupre is way better. He finally showed the ability to catch the ball in traffic yesterday.

That being said, I wouldn't draft him after seeing him for three years.

Dural hasn't shown up all year.

Huh?

I'm not sure Dural gets drafted in the top 5 rounds this year. Dude has no burst since he tore his hamstring and got fat

I don't see either one if them being more than roster filler.

Dupre is far superior. Dural will never be an impact player in the NFL. It's up to Dupre if he was to be an all-pro receiver.

Nether will get a second contract in the league after being taken 3/4th round. Good luck to them both.

Sure he's going to perform well at the combine but when the coaches put on the tape they won't see an elite WR. Hell he got benched earlier this season

Wait a minute. All the talk in the offseason was Dupre being a first round pick and because of a bad year LSU fans are saying


- I wouldn't draft him
- mid to late round pick
- roster filler

I know this fanbase is ridiculously fickle (ex. Fournette/Guice), but the guys on this board are hilarious.

Dupre will do more than well in the NFL, Dural should be at least decent. Dupre will be a top 2 round pick and Dural would have been a top 4 round pick had he come out last year even with the injury.

Dupre had the potential to be a high round pick but that's gone now. Look at how he played the first half of the season. You don't think NFL GMs are going to notice his lack of giving a frick?

I just read a Mock Draft showing Dupree going in the 5th round to Cleveland...If that doesn't scare him into coming back nothing will!

There is more to the NFL than a combine performance. Dupre needs to come back one more year and establish his ability to get separation. He was almost benched in the first half of the year and had to move back to slot to get some targets.

He had a great day yesterday but he still has some development to make up if he wants to make big $$ in NFL.
