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

We should send Brett Veach a Valentine. Watching GMFB and they've literally named over half the team as "unsung heroes". It ain't ever going to get any better than this run we're in right now peeps. Enjoy it and soak it all in.

Can't wait to see what Veach does with skill positions this offseason.

Most of us were smart enough to realize what a great pick Karlaftis is, but I went as far as to say that he's going to be one of the best defensive players to ever wear a Chiefs uniform. His potential was apparent right from the beginning to anyone who was really paying attention. And I'll take it a step further and say that his incredible attitude and work ethic will have rubbed off on the entire defense within a year or two and that we'll turn into one of the best defenses in the league because of it.

:-)
ahem...

(And he doesn't even turn 23 until April 3rd)

McDuffie is a B+. We will need him in this conference.

Karloftis is a D+. Not athletic enough, little upside. High JAG potential.

This kid is going to be one of the best defensive players in Chiefs history. Not just good, not just an all-pro...one of the best defensive players in the history of the franchise. Book it.

That lateral agility of his is gonna come in handy. It’s right there with Aidan Hutchinson. It’s elite. And his work ethic is going to help him get better. He went from 25% body fat to 15% body fat while getting to 272 lbs.

I listened to his interview and he said he knew strength wasn’t enough. He would lift and then go work on his hand work by practicing hand combat MMA moves.

His floor is really high and I’m fine with that. We desperately needed a worker like him especially with Frank Clark’s problems.

Love that he can play all over the line as well. Can easily see him lining up next to Chris Jones on some situations
Good call. Motor and work ethic was apparent from day one. That's what made me realize that he wasn't going to be satisfied with being good. He's always been driven to be GREAT.

Don't get that.

I wasn't a fan of the pick but he's already exceeded my expectations. I thought he'd be a 5-7 sack a year guy who wouldn't be able to bully NFL tackles like he did in college.

Well, I was wrong...

Some of you guys are just fucking ridiculous.
Almost everyone who really digs deep pre-draft loved this pick. Good call Chris.

Run KC has a pretty damn good track record of being spot on. Boy loves his combine metrics and this team has nailed on some elite athletes that were under the radar a bit draft wise
