Who would you rather have in your rotation? 

Adetekunbo Ogundeji - 541 snaps, 2 sacks, 0 hits, 4 hurries, 10 tackle attempts missed, 53.8 PFF run grade 

Bud Dupree - 453 snaps, 4 sacks, 4 hits, 21 hurries, 4 tackle attempts missed, 61.8 PFF run grade

Dupree may not have been good enough for Tennessee, but for the third guy in the pass rush rotation here, he's plenty good.

Neither?

One guy is cut-worthy. The other guy is playing for like $2.5M and is the EDGE3 in the rotation. He's Ebiketie's backup at WDE/Jack LB. Also, I don't think you realize just how bad the pass rush in Atlanta has been the past two seasons.

I am aware of how bad it has been. I just don't think adding another bad pass rusher makes that better. Like, you can't say one guy is cut-worthy when Dupree is on your roster because he got cut. They kind of all suck, from what we've seen of them so far.

Dupree got cut because his contract was bloated and Tennessee needed cap space. Dupree at his contract in Tennessee was cut worthy. 

Dupree at the 1 year, 2.5-3.0M isn’t. Low cost, should improve the rotation. The numbers don’t lie. He’s a productive disruptive in a rotation. His role here is no. 3 edge defender. It’s a massive upgrade over 6 pressure Ogundeji to go to 30 pressure Dupree. No matter how you cut it.

I've saw a coaches interview with all the Big10 Head Coaches and they were asked what the most overrated stat is and like 80% of them said Yards Allowed. 

Yards don't matter if you don't let them score points (or hold them to FGs every drive)

 

Total yards can be misleading (time of possession for example), but much much much less misleading than points allowed. And yards per play allowed isn't misleading at all.

If the offense turns the ball over on their own five yard line and the defense allows a TD, that goes against them for points allowed which is stupid. And that doesn't even factor in that most people don't separate defensive TDs allowed when assessing discussing that stat.

And of course as a team points is all that matters - they want to win and don't care how - but if you want to look at the best stat to assess how good a team truly is, yards per play is better than points
