I know it's early, but do y'all think he might be coming back next year?
If not, where do you see him getting drafted?

eta:

35 receivers were drafted last year, so I change my mind, but i think he stock has dropped a lot, not necessarily because of him, but because there have been some guys with breakout years that have really pushed him down. I dont think it would be a good idea for him to go pro right now, but maybe at the end of the season, idk

He gone. Id say rounds 3-5 but he could rise with a good combine.

Woah, why do you think his stock is so high?

Yeah he seems like one of those players who could swing three or four rounds depending on combine performance. He would be drafted, and I think it would be anywhere between rounds 3 and 6. Just a guess, I'll go 4th round.

Hes fast, decent size, a lot stronger this year, LSU WR's have a good rep in the NFL. I'd rather he come back but i dont see it

because he can catch an underthrown deep ball? I love LSU football but really haven't seen THAT much from him as a receiver.

This is a pretty good point.

My main thing is that I think hes probably gotten passed up by about a dozen guys right now that werent ahead of him before the season started.

He's had a few drops but he doesnt have bad hands. Odell Beckham didnt have the best hands in college either. With the rules in the NFL now speed is big for a WR and he has it. Im not saying hes going in the 1st round or anything.

He'd absolutely get drafted. Good route runner, great athleticism, great speed, good blocker, and good size.

I wouldn't say great athleticism. Good, not great.

Id love for him to come back but WR and RB are the two positions at LSU where you need to leave early if youre going to get drafted.

He has excellent balance, great speed and acceleration, and has good hops. I don't think his athleticism has ever been in question. It's always been about technique.

Too many dropped balls. 5th round at best.

I am not crapping on Dural, but he's probably our worst #1 WR that we've had in the last 10-12 years. It's either him or Tolliver (I think Tolliver was slightly better). He should get drafted but it won't be higher than a 4th.

You're probably right but i think Dupre is our WR 1 right now

I think he lacks the edge that some other wideouts have had. He seems like more of a quiet guy on and off the field and his presence isn't felt as much as Malachi's.
