re: T or F: Malachi Dupre would have been a top 2 round pick if he played with Burrow/Brady

False

No. He's not a football player. Never was. Great athlete that's not a football player. Was soft as baby tissue. I doubt he would've even cracked the lineup to get catches. He couldn't catch in traffic for shite.

False false false and more false. His technique is terrible. He catches the balls against his body. He must have had nude photos of Les Miles for him to even sniff the field while here.

Dupre had a different set of rules ...he was allowed to drop plenty passes at LSU ; But never rode the bench

Dupre might be competing at #4 with Racey McMath

The only game I can remember him really going after the ball aggressively was his last game at LSU, the bowl game vs Louisville. He didn't seem to be a great route runner and he played smaller than he was. He's not in the same league as Chase, Jefferson or Marshall.

---

Unfortunately that bowl game seemed to convince him to jump to the pros. I rarely say this about players, but he could have really used one more year of college to gain some strength and consistency.

He was a good player, but I never saw his toughness, ability to consistently win one on one battles. In fact, I don’t believe he worked as hard as the receivers now at LSU with his hands or route running.

Who cares what he would have done in another system. He still made it to a camp in the NFL and he didn't make it. He's still young and has a chance but this is on him, not LSU. LSU gave him a chance to make it to the NFL which he did, it's not LSU job to make him stay in the NFL.

Better question: Could Brady have made Malachi Dupre better?

False. Numbers would have been better, but a good bit of Dupre's issues are between the ears.

bullshite. His problem was zero physicality (on routes, at the snap, and when the ball was in the air) paired with mediocre speed and inconsistent hands.

If you are correct, why didn't the WRs that were playing two and three years ago, start and or be more productive in 2019?
The younger WRs were better athletes and/or better students of the offense.

I'll tell you why. The previous WRs were all just athletes.

Drake Davis was an athlete that was just bigger, stronger, and faster than everybody (also way too immature). This guy had Julio Jones level physical talent, but a 10 cent head.

Sullivan was a guy that several on the recruiting boards including me, wanted to play defense as he also played DE in high school. He looked better as a DE than a WR to me similar to Devonta Lee looking better as a safety than WR. Him nor Devonta wanted to come to LSU if they made them play defense (this is the stupidity than Devin White didn't have).

Derrick Dillon didn't do anything wrong, but he was also a guy who primarily played QB in high school and had to learn route running and all that at LSU. I always wanted to see him break out, but I think he was never better than 3rd or 4th on the depth chart. It sucks that he was neither invited to the senior bowl or combine, because I think both could have helped in getting him drafted. He's going to run a 4.3 something at pro day and even if somebody doesn't draft him, he'll get picked up immediately after the draft.



On another note, the actual legit WR prospect Anderson couldn't keep his dumbass out of trouble. I could have easily seen him forth on the depth chart this year and 3rd next year, but he wanted to keep screwing up. Kid had what was needed to be a top WR, just couldn't hold it down off the field.
