re: So Marshall goes in the 3rd?

Dupree simply wasn't as good. Other receivers that played under Miles got drafted high despite the offense. Lafell, Landry, Beckham, Davis, Bowe, Doucet all come to mind.

All those guys put up solid numbers because they all played in better offenses with good QB's for LSU at that time. Bowe, Davis, and Doucet all played with Jamarcus Russell, LaFell with Russell and Matt Flynn. Beckham and Landry of course had that 1 great season playing with Mettenberger. They passed the ball more back than of course with Russell and then Flynn. That 1 season with Beckham and Landry both topping a 1,000, Cam Cameron had more control over the offense in his first season, and so they threw a lot more. After that Miles took back over and it was back to ground and pound with very little throwing except on 3rd down to pick up a damn 1st down, that's what poor Dupree had to deal with in his days. Smh

All I'm saying is Dupree (and could have developed into a much better WR as a result) could have been much more productive if he had played in a better offense that passed the ball a lot more with a good QB's like those WR's had the fortune of playing with.
