Pros: Good effort, solid burst and can turn the corner on a tackle. Displayed active strong hands to disengage from blocks in the run game. Tracked plays down on the perimeter and showed he could hold the POA. Good rip move.

Cons: Inconsistent with his motor, shows at times a top notch burst and then dials it down in his get off on passing downs. He has a good speed rush around the corner but did not see him bend effectively to close on the QB. Plays a bit stupid at times, got a personal foul for knocking a player down away from the ball. Drops his head when trying to tackle someone and does not drive through his man. Inconsistency is the name of Dupree’s game.

Summary: Dupree could make a highlight reel tape to warrant a top 20 selection but it would not be an honest evaluation of his game. There are times he plays with a top burst and strong hands with some lower body strength to be a fairly complete rusher. However that is not the case most of the snaps observed of him. He seems to go 100% with his burst only on passing downs which can be incredibly effective to close on a QB. He can turn the corner but he doesn’t show proper technique to finish the play. He’s an inconsistent tackler as well. I do not like his overall game and see far too much work needed to turn him into a starter and I have doubts he is willing to do the work. Late 2^nd round player who projects best to a 3-4 team as an OLB or 3^rd round to a 4-3 team.
