Can Bud Dupree's crazy punching power translate to the field?

Going year by year from the year Bud was drafted

NE Patriot First Round Picks vs Steelers 1st round picks:

2015 DT Malcom Brown vs LB Bud Dupree Both got starters that are solid - Push

2016 No Pick vs CB Artie Burns - A player who started for 2 years then regressed. Still a player is better than nothing. Slight edge, Steelers

2017 No Pick vs LB TJ Watt - Huge failure for NE to stay out of this draft in the first. Steelers get a pro bowler.

2018 OT Isaiah Wynn & RB Sony Michel vs S Terrell Edmunds. Wynn was lost for the season with a torn achillies. Michel is a very productive short yardage back who started 8 games and got better as the season progressed. Terrell was a rookie starter of 15 games. Odd for Belly to go after a RB in the first round, especially when this RB can't catch and isn't even a treat out of the backfield (12 targets on the season). Not a good pick when you have Brady looking for short yardage throws and this guy only gets 12 targets. Poor drafting strategy, and compounds since they skipped 2 years of first rounders to get these 'guys'. Steeler's edge

2019 WR N'Keal Harry vs LB Devin Bush - obviously unknown, I like Harry, big receiver, strong, though not as fast as a first rounder should be. On draft strategy alone, the Steelers won this draft by moving up 10 spaces into the top 10 to get the ILB they need, and one of the best ILB prospects seen in the past few years. Big win for the Steelers on draft day, but we'll see how they shape up.

Analysis: Pats have no idea how to draft in the first round...

I wouldn't limit it to the first either. Always trading to build up picks so they have a lot of options. They approach free agency that way too. Just pile them in and see what sticks.

When ol Ernie retires they will be an average team at best. I will enjoy that moment in sports history.

Yes I will.............

When you know what plays are coming, that doesn't matter as much though.

That makes two of us !!!!!!!!!!!!





Salute the nation
 
So you're saying EVERY 1st round pick turns into gold???

Ryan Leaf says, "hi"...

Sent from my SM-N960U using Steeler Nation mobile app

Well, I will say this Ryan Leaf is someone who has turned his life around....Yes, he squandered his NFL playing career, but he is ending his game well....Kudos to you Mr. Leaf, keep it up...
 
Right here you show how little you grasp. Bud is good enough to be a starter, he is a starter on rising NFL defense. No backups have unseated him. He improved last year. He isn't a star, but he is a capable starter.

Using your logic Jarvis Jones was good enough to be a starter too, since he remained one for years.:crazy::crazy::crazy:

You do know you already responded to that statement right? What are you bumping **** just to see your name at the top of the forum, or are in such dire need to troll you have to post something ******* retarded?

If you can't see the difference between Jarvis Jones and Bud Dupree. Stop post immediately. Go find a huge ******* window, and start licking twatwaffle.

Don't stop clean that ************ good.
