He can hang with Laveon Bell.

I think Andy Reid screwed us over. Dupree certainly has impressive size and athleticism. Hopefully Joey can improve his technique and teach him a few tricks of the trade. Definitely Dupree can become a beast. But i think we take Peters if he's still there.
DB is definitely the bigger need. They dont have 1legitimate #1 CB on the roster and their safeties suck.

Still think they might've been better off taking Byron Jones or Landon Collins. Probably would've been easier to get an impact LB from the 2nd round or later than an impact DB. Let's see how the rest of it plays out.

Titans entertaining offers for top pick in 2nd round, No. 33. Top teams in round 2 all taking calls. One team interested in coming up: PITT.

Probably a good idea. DBs most likely to be a hot commodity in round 2.

A look at Dupree's waldo.

That box guys named Orakpo, JJ Watt, Shawne Merriman, Nick Perry.

That dot at the top, that's dupree.

Speaking in terms of physical attributes - he's off the charts.
Technique is where he needs work - if they can get him to latch on to technique.. good lord.

Something else
SPARQ is a Nike-backed formula to test physical ability and is most known for being used on high school recruits at large combines. Whitman says that in his database, Dupree is the only defensive end to pull a "Calvin." A "Calvin" is a reference to Calvin Johnson, who jumped over 40 inches in the vertical jump while also surpassing a 132-inch broad jump.

Dupree jumped just one inch lower in the broad jump and a half-inch shorter in the vertical than Johnson, who at one point was hands down the best receiving talent in the league. Dupree did all that while measuring an inch shorter and coming in at 30 pounds heavier than the freak receiver. That's the level of rare athlete we're talking about when we discuss Dupree as an "upside" selection.
A LB with 30 lbs more mass missed a vertical jump by 1 inch and a broad jump by a half inch in comparison to one of the most freakish WR in the game.
