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#NFLDraftpic.twitter.com/5qM3g6OrMr

A lot of us wanted Sam Williams, but he had significant character concerns that a front office that took guys like Hunt and Hill passed on.
They obviously get that moving on from Tyrann meant they needed to replace leadership qualities to have a sustained strong locker room and always remember Veach does all of his homework and extra credit, so if he passes on a guy like Williams for a guy like Cook, he has a laundry list of reasons he made that decision, not just YouTube videos.

And he has a higher win rate which you've now moved the goalpost to after Karlaftis had back to back games with a sack.
So what is it? Oochie Wally or One Mic?
LOL, so Chris Jones is JAG now and Karlaftis has had double the chances. [Reply]

JFC you talk about win rate when I point out that the guy has back to back games with a sack, now you're back to talking about finishing plays (aka sacks).
You're literally too stupid to argue with.
Weeks ago: Karlaftis isn't getting sacks!!! He can't finish plays!
*Karlaftis has back to back games with a sack*
Today: But he has a mid round level win rate.
*He's actually top 3 in the class in pass rush win rate*

Look in the mirror, if you don't see his limitations with the individuals who free him up to put him in a position to succeed then that's you. The whole season we've complained about the passrush outside of Chris Jones. Karlaftis was suppose to help with the draft capital put in. [Reply]

You clearly don't even know what a strawman is.
You've moved the goalposts so many times on Karlaftis that I don't even know where they are any more.
Apparently, pressures, sacks, AND a high win rate amongst his peers ALL don't matter.
I think I've proven how dishonest and biased you are on this subject. [Reply]

He’s only 21 and is a rookie. Big difference in competition from the Big 10 to the NFL. He’s definitely never seen a QB as big and fast and hard to tackle as Josh Allen.
These guys take some time dude. Playing DL is not any easy position. His pressure rate and sack production shows he’s a young kid with potential but needs time to refine his technique. [Reply]

Love the fact he's only 21 years old. Hopefully he turns into a beast over time. [Reply]

He's not just among the best of his peers in every category, he's younger than all of those guys too.
I understand that his preseason performance led to some ridiculous expectations which has led to some feeling "disappointed", but putting that aside, people aren't even being fair/reasonable at this point.
Tribal Warfare didn't even think he was an NFL DE. Expectations aren't an excuse for his dumbassery because he literally had none. He thought he sucked from day 1.
Now, he just wants to ignore every single statistical comparison to his peers while saying dumb shit like "mid round production".
Completely dishonest and absolutely retarded. [Reply]

Trey Hendrickson didn't have a sack on Sunday, but he was still generating a ton of pressure. He had whatever he wanted against Orlando Brown. Either swipes around the outside or speed to power right through him. pic.twitter.com/17BEwkf370

If you put prime Jared Allen opposite Karlaftis instead of Frank Clark, you think maybe they have a little better results? Because I do.
The Frank Clark trade continues to screw the team. I really hope they can get that figured out soon. Gotta replace Frank with a legit pass rusher who doesn't kill the Chiefs' salary cap. [Reply]
