Maybe. His production didn't match his skills, I'll admit.
But as Hamas pointed out - he really did give Mizzou fits. And perhaps I have to hedge against overrating him because I watched him reek havoc in person but he really did blow our offense apart on a fair number of occasions.
That DT for Alabama was the only other guy I saw this year that almost single-highhandedly dismantled our offense like Dupree did. Since Mizzou's move to the SEC, only the game Jarvis Jones had against us in 2012 stands out as a comparable performance. You get a completely different feel for a guy that's just imposing himself on the game when you're in the stands. You start to watch him even line up and just wait for him to blow shit up. It's something that you remember for sure.
There's risk there, but there's risk in anybody. Like I said in the OL thread, I'm also leaning towards help at CB personally but I see a TON of ability in Dupree and would not complain at all were he the pick.
