Saw he was mocked to the Cowboys so I'm curious.
I know he is a little heavier than Von, but I see a lot of similarities in the two. Both great pass rushers and underrated against the run, and both come from SEC schools not necessarily known for having football prowess/history.
What can you guys tell me about them?

Dupree and Miller isn't a bad comparison, but Dupree is much bigger. Miller came into the combine under 250 and I think Dupree will nudge 270.
Miller is probably the faster of the two, but not by a lot. Dupree will probably test in the high 4.5 range and the vertical jump testing will be similar.
The biggest difference in my mind is that Dupree is versatile enough to play as a 3-4 OLB or as a 4-3 RE with his hand in the dirt. He played both at UK. Dupree still needs a few more pass rush moves in his arsenal but I can see him becoming the best edge rusher in this draft if he lands in the right scheme.

Seconded all of what JDH said. Dupree really made a fast transition to from DE to LB in schemes when Stoops and Co. moved him around.
He's also very heady, tough nosed, and was a leader on the defense this season. Also a very classy kid who's well spoken and not the type to get in trouble off the field. Whomever gets him will get a very solid player IMO.

I will be really sad if he gets drafted by the fricking Cowboys.
