I've now taken Dante Fowler off my draft board he's getting into the top 5 overall conversation and I think there's no way he falls to us. And I'm now moving Bud Dupree to the top of my list ahead of Scherff, Clemmings etc.
I was partially inspired to do so by this picture showing Dupree's burst at the snap:
And you can see that play and one other at 4:09 in the below video (two consecutive plays)
Much like Jamie Collins' tape, I think Dupree is inconsistent and doesn't necessarily wow all the time but there are times when he explodes and hits like Collins and those are genuine wow moments. He'll need some coaching and I'm keen to see how he looks in linebacker drills at the combine but Dupree, with his extra weight and length, is the EDGE version of Collins potentially. I know we don't play it that much, but can you imagine 3-4 linebacker group of Hightower-Collins-Mayo-Dupree?
