Appreciate the comment re being generally balanced. In all honesty I'm pretty happy to get both barrels from you and anyone else if you think I'm talking s***. Useful corrective when I am! |

Agreed, this is my take. Got to let these DEs develop and see what we get. This year it's weapons. I think both Verse and Latu go earlier anyway.

Does everyone remember the last time we drafted a guy in the first round and sat him basically all year? How did that turn out?
*yes, I'm making that comparison. Let me dream, dammit |

He IS quietly approaching 10 sacks on the season, going a bit under the radar if you ask me.

I know this is the FAU thread, but honest question on Karlaftis. Do people see him winning quickly? Do you care either way?

The only thing Karlaftis has going for him is his high motor that never quits. I mean, if you can just keep running ,eventually you'll find enough plays where the QB has to hold the ball 6 to 8 seconds or more.

The end of the first is about taking guys that fall for whatever reason or taking high upside guys that have some flaws or need some development
If you take more of the first, in general, they tend to be good players early but have lower ceilings. The later tend to take some time but have higher upside but low floors I think we’ve done well mixing those two in the de spot. Karlaftis is a good solid De, but due to his physical specifics he’s probably lower ceiling wise than fau It’s also why teams tend to be more open to trading end of first round picks for established players than cp because at some point you need high end players and you aren’t likely getting them by picking there |

Sam La Porta Tank Dell Puka Nacua Rashee Rice Josh Downs All taken outside the 1st rd. These receivers/receiving threats are there. Just take them man. And this was in a down year for receivers too. We all thought this off-season that we'd have to seriously consider trading up for a LT and then Wanya comes in and has looked competent. Hell he's been better than Orlando and Smith for the most part. I think trading a 1st and payoff dudes is off the table with Mahomes contract unless it's for prime Reggie White. Pay the all pro caliber 26 year old corner on your own team and pay some money for a quality WR like Calvin Ridley or Mike Evans. |

There are so many guys picked in a draft that don’t hit, yet we look at the outliers and say “pick those” There’s a lot more sky Moore’s than puka”s |

14 tackles
2 TFL .5 sacks 7 QB hits Played less than 200 snaps. Showed flashes early when he had 4 pressures in first 2 games with a 14% pass rush win rate which was 2nd best to Chris Jones. For those who think he's a bust, check out Devonte Wyatt in GB. Didn't do much of anything as a rookie. This year showed a big jump and got 5.5 sacks as an IDL. I think Felix can be a solid rusher next year and make a jump. |

He had 2 TFL today and should have had another sack when they were driving near the end zone. Also had some pressures I noticed. Not a bad outing for him.

Furious George took a while to get going and now he's a double digit sack guy. I think DE is a pretty hard position to just come out of the gate dominating unless you're a legit freak
