DirtyBirdInThe610 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Is anyone else thinking that when it's all said and done we'll end up with Bud Dupree being the pick at 8 ? Edited March 13, 2015 by DirtyBirdInThe610 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaJoe Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Is anyone else thinking that when it's all said and done we'll end up with Bud Dupree being the pick at 8 ?Yes. I am thinking it could go that way. Perhaps over Ray, Beasley, and Gregory. Of course, some other teams may like him too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobeit Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Out of the edge rushers in this draft I think he checks most of the boxes for Quinn. He may be a little behind a couple of guys at this point but in the right spot with good coaching in 3 years I think he will end up the best player out of this group. What is hard at this point is deciding what would be too early for him because of the way most seem to be slotted but most years he is a easy top 10 pick. Depending how they come off I would take him at 8 I would take him over Fowler and Gregory any day. Edited March 13, 2015 by Sobeit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His strengths lie in his athleticism that, while partially trainable, is on a level on its own. Dude is this years version of Ezekiel Ansah, with a potentially higher ceiling.

HEIST Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Starting to come around, still don't think I'd like him at 8 tho. He's really really fast off the snap, but that's about it. He doesn't know what to do with his hands. If he figured it out, he'll be dangerous.Thing is he's had 4 years at Kentucky to do it. Not like Ansah where he started playing defense the year he was drafted and flashed on top of that athleticism. Are Kentucky's coaches really that bad? Dupree is a really hardworking guy. Just baffling that he still can't use his hands after all this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etherdome Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I like all the edge rushers listed. I don't see a down side to any of them. They all represent upgrades from what we have featured for the past decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romfal Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 depends how the draft goes, I'd definitely take him over Gregory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Power I Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Dupree with Gregory's hands would be a top 5 lock. The negatives I've seen with Dupree are that he gets sucked into offensive linemen and doesn't know how to disengage. He doesn't always play with his athleticism. Gregory on the other hand has a very lackluster snap anticipation and probably has a frame that could keep him injured. I just wish we could take the positives from both of these guys and draft that player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo.Zise Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 If Williams, Beasley and Ray are gone then I would trade back and take Dupree and get another pick or two along with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His teammate Smith has better technique, but less athleticism from what I've seen... Which is why I asked if the coaches are really that bad. Apparently Dupree is very coachable so we'll see.

Kayoh Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I don't call anything a lock until Shane Ray's pro day happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis York Morgan Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I don't call anything a lock until Shane Ray's pro day happens.I'll be honest, I think he blows it up and gets taken by WAS or NYJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
