More to come!









What are the #Chiefs getting in George Karlaftis?

Had an NFC Personnel executive tell me “He reminds me of J.J. Watt, when Watt was coming out. An explosive and versatile playmaker who has a high motor and can line up at 3,5, or 7. Very strong kid” #NFL #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/5qM3g6OrMr

George Karlaftis was drafted with pick 30 of round 1 in the 2022 draft class. He scored a 9.23 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 116 out of 1503 DE from 1987 to 2022. https://t.co/iXXBvnoFJc #RAS #Chiefs pic.twitter.com/eZ9XjNRDUB

It's the principle of the matter. If Shartzi McPoopypants can make an impact, then Karlaftis damn sure can too.

Describing him as "high motor" and "lunchpail" worries me.

It worried me then and it worries me now.

This is just Clark Derangement Syndrome.

He already has. No, he doesn't have the sacks. Yet. And he isn't consistent. Yet.

But to act like he's had zero impact is simply disingenuous.

And just for the record, Karlaftis is actually performing relatively fine compared to his peers in this draft class. Let's just establish that now.

And it's frustrating that everybody just wants to ignore this.

It's not a coincidence either.

The bottom line is that position is not an easy transition to the NFL for the majority of players. Yes, you have your Nick Bosa types, but most early round picks at that position take time.

Being considered a high motor guy is not an issue in itself.

We've had two incredible pass rushers who would have been described as high motor guys in Jared Allen and Tamba Hali.

It's just that stupid mindset that hard-working guys can't also be physically gifted.

People have it in their head that trying hard is making up for a lack of athleticism, as if they're mutually exclusive.

Another thing about Karlaftis is, he's also younger than all of those guys in this class.

Dude just turned 21 this year.

If Aldon Smith had Karlaftis' heart he'd be killing quarterbacks.

If Karlaftis could have Aldon Smith's talent he will/would be killing quarterbacks.

I will say I am a bit disappointed at his performance in run defense so far. Figured that would've been something he could've excelled at relatively quickly but it's not the case. Oh well.

They all looked good early. The last couple of games have been bad, though. And not just Karlaftis either.

Chris Jones seems to be displaying some bad habits again, too.
