Alvin Dupree DE/OLB 6'4, 267 lbs
With Seattle's trouble finding the edge rushers for the future. Dupree seems taylor made for this defense IMO with his team first personality,high motor and work ethic. thats not even mentioning the skill set Dupree poseses becuase we all now after the Harvin set back it's just as much a people business in the NFL as it is football. Dupree has the explosion, snap anticipation, and the tenacity that all the good edge rushers have. I like Dupree's size/strength coming out of college better than Irvin's and i think Dupree is better equiped to handle himself at the LOS as a LEO or situational pass rusher. Dupree can rush standing up or out of a 3 pt stance. makes alot of tackles in pursuit if rush is stalled and punishes the ball carrier when he does get home. Could be perfect for the Cliff Avril role. So i think throw Dupree in with Michael Bennett and the LOB he'll buy right in for the next four years.
