As the 2018 NFL Draft gets closer, the main positions of need continue to be the most obvious ones for the Pittsburgh Steelers: inside linebacker, quarterback, safety, etc. However, Kevin Colbert has a different decision at hand on whether to pick up the fifth-year option on Bud Dupree.
Last season saw Dupree for the first time in his career be elevated to a starter. He was available for 15 games, despite enduring a shoulder injury that kept out of the season opener. He has earned a career playing an average of 13 games.
