truefalcon Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 At this point, and, if we don't trade-up, I'm beginning to think so.Even if this were so, there seems to be a lot of potential - though he is considered raw talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Doktor Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 He certainly meets the criteria and measurables consistent with the Seattle style player. I wouldn't be at all surprised by that pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truefalcon Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 For what it's worth, Dupree highlight film, 2014. By film alone, to say this is a high motor, aggressive, disruptive player may be an understatement: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M@ck Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 bud Dupree, then double back in the third or fourth and take Zadarius anyone?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckheadFan Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 A very distinct possibility. As much as I like Beasley, he does not fit the DQ profile, but Dupree does. I would be tickled if the Falcons get him, but not at 8 (my same thought with Gurley). A trade down in the first (Dupree), then a trade back up (Gurley) would be awesome.

XXVIII-III Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 So 8's not too high for Bud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrellShropshire Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 No. He's the next Vernon Gholsten or Aaron Maybin if you ask me. 2rd talent at best, and moved up to mid round because of his combine. Is that the kind of player you want? He is so slow to read and react. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarrellShropshire Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Zadarius Anyone? Never heard of himBuds teammate, and the better football player if you ask me. Buds got underachiever written all over him. Just an athlete with marginal football knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaJoe Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I agree that Dupree is the "odds on favorite" to be the pick at #8 as things stand and project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjerry Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I'm not predicting anything about this draft. If we get to 8, and Quinn and Co. decides that Bud is the best choice, then I'll sit back and see how it works out, before casting judgment.

CTann Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I just don't know about Bud.I wouldn't want to take him at 8. If we drafted him and he wasn't a good "LEO" then he could still probably make for a good outside linebacker and situational pass rusher. But that's not the type of player I would want to take at #8.

To get Gurley though I think we'd need to leapfrog some teams in the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTann Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I read on SaintsReport the other day that one of the Saints fans who owns a bar in Lexington, KY has met some of the Kentucky football coaches and they have mentioned that Atlanta's interest in Dupree is "very high." He mentioned that apparently TD, Quinn, and Blank have met with Dupree in Kentucky several times. You can take it for what it's worth, it wasn't a "bash the Falcons" type thread, as it was just that guy sharing some information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why I dont see Dupree being a bust. Sure, a disappointment is certainly possible, but hes too explosive and athletic (hes far more fluid than other test freaks like Vernon Gholston and Corneilus Washington).

I just compared him to another physical freak that was a bust. He doesn't have a great first step, and simply was never impressed with his game tape. I'd feel more comfortable with zadarius smith in the 2nd than dupree in the 1st. And In neutral on smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't take Dupree I'd rather go BPA than gamble on Gregory, just thinking Fowler, Beasley & Ray will be gone.This was taken form an article breaking down Dupree:Dupree has shown to be highly competent in zone drops and hes a terror in pursuit.
