I don't expect this to be a popular post, so meh.

Somewhat different situations, though. The Bengals drafted Kirk to develop behind three solid veteran players. The Steelers drafted Dupree because they needed a rush OLB to replace Worilds in the starting lineup. The Bengals have hit their target with what they wanted to do with the Kirk pick, as he was intended to be molded over time into a good player, not make an impact quickly. The Steelers failed in their intentions with the Dupree pick because he was drafted to start immediately, and he's struggling badly in camp.
