ROUND 7 PICK 247 - WR MALACHI DUPRE

Malachi Dupree LSU WR

This kid could be a steal. 3rd round ability. He's going to need time to develop. 

He looks like a much better prospect than the Purdue dumdum.  

He's already played in Lambeau!!!!!!!!!  Biegel will have some fun with him. 

Finally NFLN had something to say about a Packer pick. They liked him and wondered why he dropped so far down the board.

Actually the Purdue guy is pretty good. I was researching him on Thursday before the draft. Funny that TT took him.

Dupre looks like potential good value here.

The Packers draft.  Brought to you by Spell Check.

and that's it for the Packers draft.   

Dupree was the number one ranked WR in the nation coming out of high school. Hoping that this lack of production was all on not having a QB

Prepping to move on from Duh-vante 

Ian Rapoport. 

Here is a name that’s familiar late: #LSU WR Malachi Dupre goes to the #Packers at No. 247. Basically, all of their picks are fast.

Certainly appears TT is setting the stage for some veteran cuts come August.some veteran players have earned the right to be cut with underachievement for too long now.

Good value there. The  camp competition at both RB and WR should be extremely interesting.

Janis and Davis are on notice.

More like good-bye Janis. 

That's my guess. Janis has had his David Tyree moment.

Dupree might need a year on the practice squad. He didn't much at LSU. 

Jesus Lloyd Christmas.  Do we really need a phonetic explanation on how to pronounce his name?

You'd be surprised how many names had pronunciations included in the old AP wire.

And how ****ing loud the wire machines were.

More seriously, he could pronounce his surname like Jacqueline du Pré, only with the accent missing.

TBF, he is a brother. Isn't too far fetched it could be pronounced "Muh-la-chee"

A A Ron agrees. 

I'd go with the biblical pronunciation: Malachi

Track star like Donald Driver. DD took a few years to come around- then became one of the best Packers ever.

But do you emphasize the first Yo or the Ma.

I'm calling him.....

Malachi "Crunch" Dupree. 

That's his nickname. I'm sticking with it 

CRUNCH!

Crunch Buttsteak it is.

Favorite name from new MSTK3; Dr. PeeWee Kissinger.  

I'm going with, "Cousin" Dupree.

I'm excited for C'Buttsteak, kid has never had a QB, now will have Hundley throwing him passes on the scout team.  

....and Ted didn't need to trade up!

He's got Chicago picking 11th and Trubisky is nowhere to be found. That is special. 

Malachi Dupre: From projected first-round pick to Packers' seventh rounder in a year

More on that McShay mock draft.

“I feel like the best part of my game is being a guy that can play multiple positions, play inside and outside,” Dupre said shortly after the Packers picked him in the seventh round. “I’m a guy that’s very versatile and I’m also a guy that’s smart and can pick up offenses very easily and recognize defenses. The mental part of my game is a part of my game that’s a strength also.”

He needs to learn "guy" is an insult. Must be that SEC education...

Gruden uses guy when he praises a player.

C'mon guy. Stop it. 

And amazing he didn't get that career ended early with that high leg kick he had. 

Wonder where he ends up and if he'll be another Charles Johnson

Cohen said he was left with the impression that the Packers really weren't interested in bringing him back to the PS.
