[QUOTE="Techster, post: 150043, member: 360"] I like Dupree more because he's more flexible in how he can be used, has comparable speed to Beasley, but also has a more physical game. His ability to get to the QB isn't limited by only speed. He can take OLs on and push them back, as well as run around them. He can play standing up, with his hands in the ground, and can play in space. He's effective against the run, and can be a terror against the pass. Beasley is a passing rushing specialist...a very good one, but if the Falcons are constantly giving up yards and it's always 2nd/3rd and 5 yards or less...the other side can keep it on the ground, and at that point you risk playing Beasley in a situation he's not very good in (against the run) or you take him off the field because you're scared the other team is going to run the ball. A guy picked that high that has to be put in situations to "protect" him isn't a value pick. People can say if an athlete get put in a pro environment with high character guys they'll get in line...but that's not always true. If everything was kosher in Flowery Branch, Mike Smith would still be coaching and the Falcons would not be making draft picks that high. [/QUOTE]
