Bud Dupree could end up being a very good player. But it will take a few years to see if we made a bad choice or not.
FYI the Steelers have changed their defensive scheme slightly. They are now letting their DEs play more one-gap instead of two-gap. In a 3-4 scheme the DE usually plays two-gap to free up the LBs. That is why 3-4 DEs get so many sacks. So even if Dupree does not put up big sack numbers like other 3-4 OLBs this might be because he is asked to do more things, like protecting a run gap, than just rushing the QB.
