The wait was a little longer than expected for Bud Dupree, but the Kentucky star appears to have found a good landing spot.
Dupree landed in Pittsburgh as the No. 22 overall pick in the first round. He joins a Steeler team renowned for its defense, and especially its edge pass rushing. We’ll have more on this as the night goes on and a story on Friday morning, but in the meantime we congratulate Bud!
Just in case you missed it. Bud Dupree making one dream come true tonight! #BBN #DraftDay pic.twitter.com/X8VIMnrCqR
