Chiefs *****The George Karlaftis Thread***** - Page 98

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

The superstars in 2021 are a guard, a center, and an off ball linebacker. The problem is our "superstars" that we do find in the draft are at low impact positions. Yes, it's nice to have a great guard, center, or linebacker. But none of those positions are as important or can make as big of a difference as positions like WR, DE, and CB. KC hasn't found a playmaker in the draft in a LONG time.

Many compared him to Hali.

Guys that win with strength, motor, and relentlessness take time to develop and adjust to the NFL level. Both of those guys did too.

Lazy comparison just cuz he’s white

But expectations are clearly different for a top 10 pick and the 30th overall pick. Relative to his draft position, he hasn't been THAT much better.

This is a defense mechanism that many of y'all have any time we lose just because you can't accept that the best player in the world didn't get it done today.

The Chiefs were down a lot of guys on defense goijg agaisnt the closest thing to our QB, and they played more than good enough to win.

LOL, great players do this Patrick has overcome deficits over and over. I can't blame him until it's clear to be blamed. Instead of the refs stearing the game.

Karlaftis was drafted because of his ability, and to cull the shit passrush from the previous season

You're STILL bitching about corner when that room is full of young talent?

Dumbass.

Secondary has ONE interception on the entire season. Zero playmakers in the secondary.

Yea, Sneed definitely isn't a playmaker! Only way you can make plays is interceptions.

I guess the Sneed sack and fumbles don't count huh?

Did our rookie 7th round pick not have a pick 6? Is he not playing as good as any rookie CB not named Sauce?

God damn you're fucking clueless.

First it was he sucked because he had short arms.

Then you changed and said it was your biggest error in evaluation ever and he was a Greek God.

And now you're back to he sucks?

At last, Karlaftis is going to rise again like a Greek Phoenix from Marty's ashes.

Clay is one of the biggest turncoats on Cp.

JFC this place goes full reerun every single time we lose, even when we played better than anybody expected.

Always the same people too.

You said yourself that Mahomes isn’t allowed to have a defense and you were right.
