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

Signing Dunlap and drafting Karlaftis. His pressures have been a part of that improvement. I, for one, am glad to have him.


The Chiefs have been gouged by top tier QBs because of the inability to get them. Pressures "the new hidden TDs" are great till QBs like Burrow or Allen buttfucks the Defense with a great pass or run on 3rd or 4th down.

Finish the goddamn play, when you have the chance especially when the secondary is having issues with the elite WRs. Noticed how suddenly Karlaftis sacks spiked since McDuffie returned, the real praise should be Trent's shutdown CB play.

He’s a 21 year old rookie who has played football for like 4 years. He was the 30th pick in the draft. Did you expect we were getting DT or Von Miller?

He’s been really good for his draft status.

Sam Williams was available who's fast enough to close

Are you saying Karlaftis has a lot of pressures but not many sacks because he's not fast enough?

He'll never be a Chief. So fuck him.

McDuffie has definitely been much more impactful than Karlaftis. But he was picked a fair bit higher. At 21 I'd hope it's a guy who comes in and immediately improves the team. At 30 I'm probably expecting a bit less.

I've said before I think he's had a few games where it looked like it was coming together, but against Denver it was less obvious. IMO he hasn't made much of an impact and if people scrolled back to his drafting I reckon they'd have been predicting more in his first year.

There's obviously some physical limitations, we all knew he wouldn't be the quickest or bendiest, but that's why he wasn't a top 10 pick. I don't think we'll get much from him this year, but I do expect a decent improvement next. If he's playing like this next year then yeah, we can start being concerned.

On the field yes, a step too late or too slow to make the tackle


He should have better production considering Chris Jones is getting double and triple teamed.

There's a difference between being a step too late and being too slow to play the position. Are you talking about the former or the latter?

Thanks for posting that.

His tackling hasn't stood out to me as being that bad. Maybe I'm missing it.

He'll look alot better next year with Rashan Gary on the other side and Chris JOnes in the middle.

Sam Williams was my favorite player in the entire draft but I’ve been more than happy with Karlaftis. He’s been the best rookie pass rusher not named Aidan Hutchinson this season.

They are both going to be really good

Karlaftis is ranked 17 out of ALL Rookies...

Kayvon Thibodeux is 18, no Sam Williams on the list. Travon Walker is 14.



17 - George Karlaftis



DRAFTED: Round 1, No. 30 overall

Karlaftis is getting better every week. He has flashed polish with his hand moves and the effort is excellent.

This is NOT the guy to be bitching about.

Celebrate FGK!

He is getting better every game! Listen to Cullen, I think the guy knows more than any of us about D line.
