Bud Dupree's set to earn $9.232 million in 2019 after the team picked up his fifth-year option last summer

2018 first round edmunds. average at best. 87% completion rate when targeted.
2017 first round watt. above average. needs to work on hand placement to win more 1v1's.
2016 first round artie burns bust. artie burns is bad.
2015 first round shazier. above average. too much reliance on speed and not form. out of football.
2014 first round dupree. bust. terrible.
2013 first round jarvis jones. bust. out of football.

thats a terrible first round history in the last few years. two hits ( watt and shazier) with possibly a third if he gets better this offseason in edmunds. three busts. dupree, burns, jones.

2018 second round pick washington - jury is still out yet. inconsistent.
2017 second round pick juju. terrific pick.
2016 second round pick. sean davis. above average. had been playing out of position for first 2 years.
2015 second round pick. senquez golson. bust didnt even touch the field.
2014 second round pick stephon tuitt. above average player. a bit inconsistent.
2013 second round pick he who must not be named. great player when not injured, or suspended, or causing all kinds of drama out of greed and ego.

two hits, starters (tuitt and juju) an average hit, davis. undecided in washington, a bust in golson and he who must not be named who tore the fanbase in two for the last 3 years.

combined:
5 above average or high quality starters (watt, shazier, tuitt, juju, and davis)
2 ehhh starters in edmunds and washington.
4 busts (golson, jones, dupree, and burns).

thats an ehhh set as a whole by numbers. but not great at 5-4.
