Pittsburgh Steelers select Bud Dupree with the 22nd overall pick

The Pittsburgh Steelers have selected Bud Dupree with the 22nd overall pick. Here's the scouting report, courtesy of Shasky Clarke (@sclarkenfl).

Alvin Dupree is a freak athlete with positional versatility and very good collegiate production. Dupree possesses dominant explosiveness and demonstrates great closing speed. When he was asked to drop into coverage, he was very capable. After adding bulk in the offseason, Dupree has become strong holding up at the point of attack as well as using his upper body strength to separate from blockers.

But Dupree is not consistently impactful as a rusher. He can be raw as a rusher and overly reliant on his speed and explosiveness to be productive.

In the end, Dupree’s athletic gifts and his track record of production project well. Further, he should fit well in any defensive system as he continues to polish his craft.
