4. Alvin “Bud” Dupree, Kentucky
Dupree’s strength and speed makes him an intriguing prospect that has some draft experts putting him as high as the top 10 with other dropping him to the 2nd round. Dupree may be the best hybrid DE/OLB prospect in the draft and would be the perfect piece to have in defenses that frequently transition between 4-3 and 3-4 fronts. His biggest flaw his his inability to shed blockers often, a trait that practically excludes him from playing on the defensive line and will make him very or hit miss on pass rushing downs.Nonetheless, he could become a Mario Williams kind of player – just put him in a position to rush the passer and watch the magic happen.
Projection: 1st-round
