They've done that before with UDFA's. There are no strings attacked at this stage, so they will sign anyone. It's the impactful players that are all over the NFL that it would have been nice to have maybe one of them.

Dural is nice sign for a free agent. Tons of speed, but never was consistent at much of anything else. He could have put up better numbers if the QB play had been decent, but he still has a lot to work on at being an actual WR, and not just a guy who runs deep.

I see that someone had him with a 4.57 40 time. I don't know who did that or what was wrong with their stop watch, because he has run in the low 4.4's, and I believe even sub 4.4 before. He must not have been healthy when he ran that 4.57.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

OVERVIEW
Injuries and the Tigers' passing game woes have hampered Dural's productivity during his career. He was forced to redshirt the 2012 season after injuring his knee in pre-season practice, but came back to contribute as a reserve in 2013 (7-145, two TD). Dural had a breakout year as a sophomore, starting every game and leading the team in receptions (37), receiving yards (758) and receiving scores (seven). His production dipped in 2015 (28-533, three TD) partially due to a hamstring injury late in the year. In 2016, Dural managed only 28 catches for 280 yards and one score in a mediocre LSU passing attack, again missing time in November because of a shoulder issue.

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS Good size with great play speed. Has wheels to challenge cornerbacks up and over the top if they start to sit on his routes. Has the feet to jab and juke into the clear against press with more coaching. Early accelerator into his routes with desired forward lean. Doesn't need extended runway to hit top speed. Plus athlete with the wiggle and speed to turn crossing routes into chunk plays. Plays with some grit after the catch when challenging tacklers. Much more talented than his production would indicate. Possesses adequate toughness. Efficient hand fighter who is able to adjust routes against contact. Always plays up to his natural speed. Gives reliable effort as blocker and has the size to widen the contain of smaller corners.


WEAKNESSES Small hands measured less than 9 inches last spring. Suffers from occasional focus drops. Finished with just one catch of 20-plus yards. Lack of production could bother scouts despite poor quarterback play. Never reached the 40 catch mark in any of his seasons at LSU. Has long speed, but below-average ball skills to capitalize. Tracking and gauging the deep ball is a challenge. Allows defenders room to play the ball rather than stacking and controlling them on his hip. Routes powered by speed over precision. Inconsistent when asked to make combat catches.

DRAFT PROJECTION Rounds 5-6

SOURCES TELL US "Remember that this is the same program that was able to hold Beckham (Odell Beckham, Jr.) and Jarvis Landry at bay in college. LSU's quarterbacks stink. Dural gets a projection grade because he just didn't do enough on tape." -- AFC area scout

NFL COMPARISON Arrelious Benn

BOTTOM LINE Dural has the size and athletic traits that could push his draft value well beyond his college production that was hindered by a flailing offense that never found a capable quarterback. While he has legitimate pro talent and deep speed, his average ball skills and body positioning make him a "high ceiling, low floor" option at wideout.

OVERVIEW
A three-sport star at Oakwood High School in Illinois, Lee holds school records for home runs and runs batted in, and was a 1,000-point scorer in basketball along with his all-county play on the gridiron. He walked on at ISU to focus on football, playing on the practice squad in 2013 and in 13 games as a reserve as a sophomore. Lee won the starting job at right guard as a junior, and then earned honorable mention All-Missouri Valley Football Conference honors as a starter at guard and right tackle.

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS Has long arms at the end of a well-proportioned, NFL-caliber frame. Always looking to finish his blocks when he's able to sustain. Will flash some edge to his play. Attempts to unlock hips and roll them into his run blocks. Plays with some upper body "wrestling strength" when it's time to maul. Pass sets with a wide base. Possesses natural anchor strength to battle back against bull-rush attempts. Sees and responds to twists. Keeps hands hanging in punch-ready position. Hands generally stay inside the frame of opponent.

WEAKNESSES Pops up too tall after the snap. Poor pad level robs him of low-man status and ability to generate drive-blocking power. Has heavy feet and is slow into second-level blocks. Unable to mirror athletic interior rushers smoothly. Straight-legged pass setter with poor change of direction quickness. Waist-bending and leaning into blocks is a common theme throughout the tape. Has problems with body control and balance. Over-sets on the edges and allows his weight to drift outside of his frame. Tends to lead with his upper body in all aspects of his game. Needs to play with faster hands.

DRAFT PROJECTION Round 6-7

BOTTOM LINE Lack of natural bend limits his power and he has below average athleticism, but Lee's size and physical traits are certain to appeal to teams who covet those strengths along the interior. He could become a career backup who could step into some snaps in the right situation.

"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!
