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.


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

So are we doing this top 13 big board?

I agree with that as well. Collins biggest assets are his run blocking & his versatility. The versatility is a huge plus that can pay dividends immediately & down the road. As you mentioned he could very well become a possible replacement of Strief down the line at right tackle.

I like Dupree as well. The only thing that worries me is that he had a habit of disappearing at times. The question with that becomes one, did he take plays off or two, did opposing offenses adjust their protections & blocking schemes to prevent him making plays? It's not like Kentucky was loaded with play makers on defense so taking Dupree out of the game wouldn't be too hard to do scheme wise.
