Paul Zeise: The Steelers were right to pick up fifth-year option to Bud Dupree

Bud Dupree is entering his fourth season with the Steelers and so far his body of work has been somewhat underwhelming. Dupree has shown some flashes of his potential but has not been nearly as consistent as a first-round pick needs to be at this point in his career.

The Steelers were facing a tough choice this offseason with regards to picking up his fifth-year option. Dupree has been inconsistent and has had a propensity for disappearing for long stretches of games.

He was drafted to be a high-impact player who makes game-changing plays and he has not delivered in that area.
