Malachi Dupre Declares For The NFL Draft

Every other #1 WR recruit has been a top draft pick - 1st-2nd round. His phenomenal 43.5 inch Vertical would have been the second best in the NBA Draft that year. _______________________________________________________________________ Dupre & the "Heisman Factor Frustration" that he and all the WRs faced: “If they were recruiting me and they told me they were going to give the ball to Leonard, or the running backs 75 percent of the time, it might be hard to get a recruit at the receiver position or quarterback position. But at the end of the day, we’re here … we’ve got to live with it.”

It's his time. He's going to do as well if he goes this year or next. I was hoping he'd come back but I wish him well.

Don't drop a single ball at the combine and you'll go high.

"Malachi Dupre's NFL Stock is continuing to rise- 1st-2nd Rd, 3rd-7th WR." "Dupre is able to out-leap most defenders and attack the ball at its highest point. has good hands, and is a threat on all levels. His size, catch radius, b-jump, and vertical should impress. I would expect him to be 1st rd worthy on talent alone." "His talent went to waste at LSU in a run heavy offense. It's better to judge Dupre by what he does when he actually gets the ball thrown his way, which is convert. The 6'4”, 195-pound junior has 98 receptions and 14 of those have gone for touchdowns, including six of 43 in 2015." "He has strong hands and long arms which help him attack the ball at its highest point. Dupre has proven to be a big-play threat and someone who can make plays down the field. His strong hands also pop when he’s working the underneath routes. Dupre is able to adjust his body and pluck the ball away from his frame. This allows him to make those tough catches in traffic." "Dupre proved he could explode past his man when getting to the back of the end zone to catch a fade. The junior also impressed with his blocking, helping running back Derrius Guice twice on touchdown runs. This is the sort of effort that will help Dupre make an impact in the NFL."

His ceiling is boundless, but I think he'll be a late round draft. In fact, I'll bet anyone that he will be 4th round or later. He's under-developed. This is a poor decision. But, he's an LSU guy so I wish him well. Godspeed, Malachi.

He showed some toughness this year and a want to get to the ball. Best of Luck man.

He's got all the tools. Just needs better hands and to be more aggressive. Wish he'd stay to develop that, but best of luck to him.

Mannie scared him off. This really is a disappointing move. He is ready but should have stayed for a better draft grade. Money must be tight....

Thanks for being a tiger, Dupre...We'll be watching you on Sunday!

Congrats to Dupre. He has been a great Tiger. I, too, believe he could use another year like Collins, Beckwith and White used to become much better picks but I don't know his situation. Good luck Malachi and fly that LSU flag on Sundays!!!

He is a good receiver. fans are yet again blaming a player for an atrocious offensive scheme. He had a couple drops, ok. But a few of his drops that are blamed on him were marginal throws at best. Almost every call ever thrown his way he had to stop and wait for, He may not see himself as a fit for Canada's offense. He may just be tired of playing in a half empty stadium in front of the bitch ingest fans alive for his home games No one shits on players like LSU fans. I'd send my son to Bama too

Don't go to New York because your phone call won't come until Friday.

#1 ESPN, Dupre, a premier Slot or outside WR, excellent blocker, great hands, practiced 2 yrs with the Saints in HS and set the 2014 SPARQ record with his 43.5" Vertical. With only 98 catches, Dupre had more Yards, YPC, & TDs (14) as a FR (5) & Soph (6) than either Beckham or Landry & leaves with 14 TDs, 2 more than Beckham, 1 less than Landry. He did that with 40% less catches. Dupre & Harris connected on 10 of his 14 TDs & 3 of his 5 100 yd games & Dupre was #3 in the nation w/23 YPC as a FR. But like Dural they both had drastically declining roles & stats in 2016's less explosive OFF. No Analyst is going to miss the mitigating factors he faced & penalize either him or Dural for playing in an Off that absurdly ranked 120th, 119th, & 116th in pass ATTs which makes absolutely no sense since Pass Plays were more productive than Rushing...Even W/O Shotgun/Tempo/Spread in Miles/Cam's 1-2WR 2TE/FB sets Dupre was forced to beat double coverage on long isolation routes. LSU ranked last in Pace of Play & Plays/Game, 1/2 of CLEM/ALA, except when they turned FR Harris/Dupre loose in a shotgun spread/HUNH for 2 min vs MSST & spread vs NMST. Compared to Clemson's Sr. Mike Williams who had Tempo & Space, Harris/Dupre & all the QBs/WRs were hamstrung w/6 transferring out. Dupre made unbelivable leaping highpoint & 1-handed catches, even w/intentional facemask & PI & his Combine should shoot him up the charts. 28 Pt 2nd Qtr FLA Highlights: Early fumble by LF gave FLA easy 7-0 lead, then 9 yd TD, 52 yd flea flicker, 3rd&9 50 yd TD with 27 secs & 4 DL chasing grabbing Harris, 3 DBs covering Dupre for a 28-14 halftime lead.

Always liked Malachi but he'd be so much better served with another year of college under his belt. Plays "small" not dominant but has the tools to be. Best of luck though.

I think lsu had better WR's on the bench this season and dupre started over them out of seniority. truth is: he should have been benched during the season for all of the drops and half assed route running he was doing for both harris and etling. no way should he have had as much playing time as he did with the low effort he gave, especially on 50/50 balls.

Love the disparity between "he's gonna be a stud" to "5th or 6th rounder." The reality is right now he has a low 2nd round grade. That sounds nice and all, but the money's in the first. Without a first round grade or major financial/grade concerns, he should come back to get into the first. NFL rookie contracts are all about the first. If he goes in the 2nd or 3rd, he'll make money, but not close to the first. And if he even makes a team, he'll be "saddled" with that deal for 4 yrs.

Thank goodness chark returned

Should have returned, but good luck.

Best of luck to him. I hope he succeeds in the NFL.
