Though I am happy with the pick of Ced if he heals up. Kid would have been in the top 10 possibly top 5.

any how this little tid bit about Bud Dupree is coming out

Bud Dupree struggling to adjust to NFL

The Steelers drafted Kentucky pass-rusher Bud Dupree in the first round of this year's draft in hopes the All-SEC performer could upgrade their porous defense as early as 2015. That's not happening anytime soon based on his struggles in training camp and through two preseason games. ESPN NFL Insider Louis Riddick thinks Dupree's performance thus far is a "real concern."

Dupree was always a better athlete than football player. Insane measurables. Production that doesn't match the measurables. I would've rather drafted Z'Darius Smith in the late rounds than Dupree in the first round. The Steelers FO is slipping lately on edge rushers. Jarvis Jones isn't much either.
