Bud Dupree

Does anyone think he would have been our pick had he been on the board at 26 or was Perriman going to be it no matter what?

I don't like him that much. He doesn't have any moves, he just sprints upfield at the snap of the ball. Also his production doesn't match his combine numbers. We'll see how he develops with Pittsburgh.

He compares to Adalius Thomas, who didn't have any pass rush moves. Just blitz him off the edge like Clay Matthews.

Team website says that was the pick until Steelers took him.

It seems that way from the wording of the article. I think when Dupree went that meant we were down to one guy and looking at trading back. Perhaps that was part of it. I looked at some highlights of Dupree and man he is a thumper.

Yeah, I think Dupree would have been the pick.

Would have made a nice Suggs successor. The guy is an athletic freak. It just pops out at you in the film. Dude is thick.

Perriman>Dupree IMO. Dupree only produced against garbage teams

**Stealthbirds80** · 05-01-2015, 11:42 PM

Yeah saw a graphic where Dupree would only produce against below average talent and when facing top O-lines was really taken out of the game.

I think he was the pick however and that we basically paid the Steelers back with taking Williams in front of them. Their fans and media are besides themselves on twitter. That in itself is worth it.

I am still convinced that it was Dupree AND Ray. It's just a matter of which one the Ravens had rated higher. They have to have known that one of them would get picked off by the AFC North before they picked. Well, that happened and Denver moved up to get the other. I still believe that Perriman was the last prospect they felt comfortable taking at that spot.

Absolutely. Permian was the last of the 18 guys they identified left on the board. That means there were 17 players they would have taken ahead of Perriman. Dupree and Peters were the only 2 identified.
