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
Daniel Jeremiah at NFL.com really likes him. In fact, he projects him to get 10 sacks this season, which is more than any of the other first round passrushers. Here is the part of Furios George
Drafted: Round 1, No. 30 overall
Best-case scenario: Karlaftis is going to get a lot of opportunities to rush the quarterback playing in the Chiefs’ high-scoring offense. I think we’re going to see his production far exceed what he posted at Purdue (4.5 sacks last season). His power is real, and he’s one of my top candidates for Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Worst-case scenario: As much as I love his game, his production in college never quite reflected his full ability. Maybe that carries over to the NFL and he provides more disruption than production.

Projected stats: 50 tackles and 10 sacks.
If he gets 10 sacks, I will... I don't know what I'll do [Reply]
