peterpiper Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I have watched tape on this guy all day and he is R-A-W. BUT he is a freak. He also goes inside and mixes it up more than Beasley. Knowing the way we like to draft PROJECTS here in Atlanta. I am going to say three things. 1. Dupree is better than Ray, Beasley, and Fowler. 2. He has better character than Gregory. 3. THIS is who the Falcons will take with the 8th pick. I have him ranked in my mock drafts as 5/6 best pass rusher due to him being R-A-W. But based on his UPSIDE. He is 3rd best pass rusher in the draft behind Williams and Gregory and Falcons wont touch Gregory. So while the SAFE pick at 8 would be Collins out of LSU. I have a gut feeling Falcons are taking Dupree. I know I posted earlier that Falcons wouldn't make a risky pick or a reach pick like this at 8 with them having to hit in the draft this year BUT. The more I watch this guy...... He's the one we will pick. Final answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrellShropshire Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I hate dupree. Could list all the reasons why, just don't care enough, and someone deleted my DVR shows, so kinda pissed lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ya_boi_j Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 At the slot they draft in, with the assumption Beasley is gone, I wouldn't be shocked if they chose Dupree or Gregory at 8. Which is why I haven't gotten my hopes up for Beasley at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romfal Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 if Quinn wanted to work his magic of a D-Line guru, Dupree should be high on our board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I would punt a baby if we took Dupree over Gregory.it all depends on the teams trading up in the top 10. There will be multiple trades IMO.

RYNE Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Dupree is going to be the pick at 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrellShropshire Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 it is what it is. We cried for one of the top pass rushers for years and now we will get what we wanted.Lol except he's not a top pass rusher. He's a 2nd rounder at best, just riding his combine scores.

We don't know how teams view him.If I can see that he is blatantly lacking NFL star traits, then TD and Pioli **** sure better see he's lacking them.

shockerfalcon Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 If Quinn is truly following the Seattle style then Dupree would make sense. He has the size and more important the athletic ability Quinn covets in a player. Technique can be taught and I get the feeling Quinn will not be scared to reach for a player he feels can blossom in his scheme. Like most I'd rather have Beasley but Dupree would be my second choice over the rest of the pass rushers likely to be available at 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ya_boi_j Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 If I can see that he is blatantly lacking NFL star traits, then TD and Pioli **** sure better see he's lacking them.that's easy to say without knowing how they really view him. Like I said, it wouldn't shock me at all. We will get what we cried for. Nothings gonna be done about it. Same goes even if they grab Gurley and those of us against grabbing him at 8. Nothing we can do about it but deal with it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD-FalconFan13 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Once Dupree puts consistency with proper technique he'll dominate. With Quinn, a Defensive Line maestro, teaching him that might not take long. Not to mention he can play some DE. If Beasley and Fowler are gone then it's a close race between him and Gregory.

peterpiper Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 Darrell you are thinking the same way I WAS thinking. I was originally thinking Dupree was late first round early 2nd round pick. But watch the tapes again. Then watch Beasley, then watch Gregory. This dude is more fluid. Watch and compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyborneC-Falcon4Life Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I think Bud Dupree is one of the Top 5 pass rushers in the draft. Gregory is who I personally wish they would they would pick. But I think it will be either Dupree or Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrellShropshire Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Dupree is the next Dwight Freeny. Bet it. Worduphomie.C'mon man? You have a better comparison than that. They are nothing alike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But watch the tapes again. Then watch Beasley, then watch Gregory. This dude is more fluid. Watch and compare.I hate beasley as well. I love gregory as a speed rusher. I love fowler when thinking all the different places Quinn can use him. And I like ray thinking about how Quinn can improve him as a pass rusher. But I do not like dupree or beasley.

Francis York Morgan Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 These boards overrate Beasley. Not how good he is, I still think he's the best in the draft, but most boards and especially analysts have him ranked even in the teens. Seen a whole lot of mocks with him going to us. It's not that I expect him to be there at 8, but it wouldn't surprise me at all. Gotta keep the hope alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD-FalconFan13 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I keep hearing Ray as an option and that's the one guy I would HATE to get. I just don't think he'll be effective in the first few years, if at all. All the other I think can succeed fairly quickly. Also Ray would be the most one dimensional. My order is Beasley, Fowler, Gregory/Dupree, Ray. All have potential, but their effectiveness will vary greatly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpiper Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 Go to You Tube and type in Bud Dupree Highlights. You will see some cases where when he is going up againsts opponents and instead of using leverage with inside arm and dipping inner shoulder to break away he simply plows into the guy and tries to overcome him with strength. Also when you see edge rushers get hung trying to go inside instead of spinning outside they try and swim thru. This is another characteristic of being R-A-W. Basic techniques that a line coach can teach the dude. He has explosion off the ball but also he moves the other player. Beasley gets to the QB with explsion as well but if Beasley gets hung he has no power. This dude has speed and power. Hope this makes sense. Gregory/Williams are successful because they have wingspan and power to separate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
