Bud's knock has always been injuries.  He's only going to play limited snaps in a game...and he's can still play.  He's also familiar with our DC.

He had 6.5 sacks last season in Atlanta.   BRING HIM IN!!

I'd also like it if they could sign Dupree. His familiarity with Nielson is a big plus. Also, I doubt any of the top 3 Edge rushers will be on the Board at 17.

He's certainly better than Smoot, who was brought back last season for sentimental reasons. I'd wait till after the draft, however, to sign someone like him. One of the top edge rushers could fall if second-tier QBs, like McCarthy and Nix, get overdrafted. They're the Ryan Picketts of this year's draft. Also, don't rule out one of the top tackles falling, which could turn Cam Robinson into trade bait.
