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

Comparing someone like Karlaftis to Allen or JJ Watt is nuts. Karlaftis isn't going to be DPOY or go to the HoF, fellas. I'd put just about any amount of money on that. So let's try to find something reasonable here.

I think I've come up with a couple I really like.

Reasonable 75th percentile projection: Jabaal Sheard. Sheard played for a decade and was a capable 6-8 sack sort of guy most years. A little shorter armed, won mostly with power (especially as he aged) and wasn't the most bendy dude you'd see out there. He was never a superstar but he was always a pretty damn good player and someone you were happy to have on your roster.

Bottom 25% projection: Chauncey Davis. Same kind of player, just wasn't as good at it. Played 100 NFL games, started a couple dozen of them. Obviously this would be a disappointing outcome and I think Sheard is the far more likely scenario, but it's not as though a 100 games played floor is a disaster of a pick. When that's something of a worst case scenario for a guy, that's pretty solid.
I was watching a video of Karlaftis before the draft, and Greg Cosell said he reminded him of Emmanuel Ogbah.

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.
While I like the pick a lot, and can get behind this... BUT.... got any of those lottery numbers??

Just a hunch. And my hunches are never wrong. 60% of the time, they work every time.

We remember him as nothing special, but he was actually kind of bad, just not as bad as he was in Sutton's 3-4. And then Danna has been an okay bench guy in the rotation, but should obviously not be starting.

Karlaftis in his rookie year will already be a breath of fresh air on the strong side. It's going to make a difference, even if his stats are a little slow to come by at first.
This is pretty much my take. I'm not high on Karlaftis, but he absolutely makes us better and at 30 he should be very good value.

Not sure if posted, but Ravens and Chiefs only 2 teams with an “elite” graded pick.

Ingram didnt have much for sack numbers last year but he did ratchet up our pressure

In general, its a bad idea to just go with what someone says in an internet forum. But if that's what you want to do, that's fine. I wasn't trying to be a dick.

Great so we got Greek Freak and OBJ
