I think if him and Collins are both on the board at 13 its gonna be tough for them to decide


Yeah they're both solid players. I think at 13 tho I'd rather get Dupree if he's still available. I love Collins as a prospect, but there are plenty of solid guards to be had later like Cann, Tomlinson, Marpet or Tre Jackson. The same can't be said for an EDGE like Dupree, especially one as versatile as him.

Maybe we should put them up against each other in a one on one drill, winner take all.

Path to the Draft: The New Orleans Saints Edition Collins vs Dupree

Actually, it happened already. La'el had a few problems with Dupree's speed off the edge in pass pro during the LSU/Kentucky game from this past season. Collins mauled Dupree in the run game & had him worn down by the 2nd half.

Yeah I agree, I just really believe Collins is really filling two needs for us, an awesome guard for now and an replacement for Strief a few years down the road. So to me the better plan is take Collins at 13 and a gaurd later in the draft to move into a starting spot once Strief retires or leaves and Collins moves over.JMHO.


But I wouldnt be mad if they took Dupree at 13
