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

His 3 cone beating JJ's by a full tenth of a second is excellent news.

His strength isn't there, but JJ had a full 24 pounds on him coming out.

As soon as this kid gets in an NFL weight program he's going to be an absolute beast.
I hope so. I just think comparing him to the most dominant DE of the last decade is kinda hyperbole.

You gotta think about comparing to Watt as a prospect. Not as what he turned out to be in the league.

It is, but in the same way that the negative Nancys are poo-pooing the kid as a 'poor athlete' with arms that are 'too short'.

The kid's effort indicates that only injuries could make him bust. He's an extremely high motor kid. His arms are longer than Hutchinson's, who went #2 (and should've been #1). His RAS score was 9.28, he's plenty good athletically.

Could he have a JJ Watt type ceiling? Yes, it's physically possible. Is he likely to bust? No, not unless he gets hurt. Will he likely be a solid, good player? Yes, that's the most likely outcome. Did we have a DE like that on our roster? No, we did not.

Yeah, the athlete stuff is getting out of hand.

Karlaftis didn’t run a sexy 40 and he doesn’t display above-average bend. But his short-area quickness and explosion scores are good.

He’s a great athlete. Just not a traditional RE.

So can anyone tell me why his 2021 season he only put up 4.5 sacks?

2019 - 12 games - 7.5 sacks
2020 - 2 games - 2 sacks
2021 - 12 games - 4.5 sacks

2019 looks intriguing and 2020 was covid related.

But what happened in 2021?

Goodness Clay. JJ Watt, really?

:-)

I hope he just hope he becomes an above average starter.

Day 1 starter at LE.

the rest of the line was shitty, and so he was double teamed on every play. He still finished #3 in the nation in pressures.

If he had above average bend and a better athletic profile he's a top 5 pick.

He's a good pick at 30. It's fine. People need to not get so worked up.

His 3 cone would have been 2nd behind Hutchinson at the combine at his position.

That’s really good

Hmm.

I just watched the 2021 highlights in the OP and the majority of the time he had 1 on 1 match ups.

I'll take your word for it and be happy for the #3 in pressures...

Or you could do a little reading.

A quick google search will be illuminating.

Step away from the keyboard TEX.

I think you're forgetting how many times I get called a Chiefs hater for being critical of aspects of the team.

Hill isn't the reason the Chiefs offense was amazing.

Patrick Mahomes is. If you'd wipe your tears, you could see that he's still here.

Get some Dolphins gear and jump on their fucking bandwagon, and better yet, jump to their board. Fap to dehydration watching Tyreek Hill get his thousand yards on the way to 6-11 record.
