Alvin “Bud” Dupree-OLB, Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers may have picked up Dupree’s fifth-year option which will allot him around $9,000,000 in the 2019 season, but the organization is far from believing he is their future.
The 2015 first-round pick only has 14.5 sacks in his career thus far, with his 2017 being his best campaign with six. While his production has improved every season, it has not been at the rate Mike Tomlin would have expected for the linebacker from Kentucky.
At 6’2, 260 pounds and only 25 years old, a new change of scenery under the tutelage of esteemed defensive coordinator, Vic Fangio, has the potential to change Dupree’s “less than stellar” start to his career.
Would trading a 2019 thrid-round pick be worth acquiring Dupree especially because the team is without a second-round pick this upcoming draft? It might be worth finding out.
