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
Karlaftis stepped up his game in the 4th QTR in crunch time.
I don't understand the Texans trying to use an ordinary TE to try to block George on two of those sacks (except for Spags scheme possibly forcing the mis-match), because only a TE like Jason Dunn back in the Vermeil era would have a chance. [Reply]
Wasn't the term Furious George coined here? Or did he have that name in college? I just read an article on SB Nation that called him Furious George. First time that I've ever seen that used outside of CP. [Reply]

I heard it on Pregame a time or two. His nickname in college was the "Greek Freak." Furious George is much better. He's top nice to be a freak. [Reply]

I think that’s a fair assessment.
7 sacks in year one.
13.5 sacks in his second year
11 sacks this year (with 2 games to go)
He has 31.5 sacks in his first 3 seasons.
He and McDuffie would probably both be redrafted in the top 10.

Tamba Karlaftis is gonna be special and he’s already showing it.

He’s probably better than Hali, already.
That was a really good draft to get that extra capital in. It was a pretty damn good draft period.
Gardner, McDuffie, Wilson, Pickens, Stingley, joseph, Hamilton, Bonitto, Hutchinson, Olave, Karlaftis and several others (hell, even Purdy).
Even the 'busts' from that round were pretty decent. Londong, Smith, Linderbaum, Cross, Walker, Thibodeaux, Zion Johnson, Devin Lloyd, even Ekwonu.
I mean there are just a TON of good players to have come out of that draft. Guys like Cook, Williams, Hall and Walker at RB. Shakir, Watson, Williams, Doubs, Pierce at WR.
I think McDuffie goes top 5. I doubt Karlaftis goes top 10 but he probably goes top 20.
We had a very good draft, no question. But man when you start to look at that draft, it was loaded and a ton of teams had pretty massive hauls. [Reply]

I recall watching a youtube video doing a redraft that was about 10 games into that season where they called Karlaftis a bust. [Reply]

For all the complaints about Pickens, he wasn’t the guy we missed on. It was Bernhard Raimann.
He would’ve started over Wylie at RT and taken LT when we let OBJ walk.

Swap Skyy for Raimann and good lord.
I doubt the Chiefs switch Raimann back to LT. They probably keep him at RT, but at least we would have saved mega millions by not paying Jawaan. [Reply]
