I’ll need to find out but I read recently that teams absolutely love Pitre. He tested well and has a good frame and was very versatile at Baylor.
He apparently knocked his interviews out of the park and some people think he’s a first rd prospect. I think he’s an early 2nd rd player but man I would love him or Dax Hill in KC. They would be so awesome here |

Hey, me too!
No, really. I have a lot of the same thoughts exactly on those guys, Watson included. if I were a 3-4 team, I'd love Ebiketie. As a DE...I don't know. I guess he's a much more explosive Danna. That can play, but isn't really Spags' preferred size. The more I look at Johnson the less I'm really into it. I was thinking I see a contributor but not really a dominant alpha Edge. I think his ceiling in the NFL is Clowney; which, much like Clowney will be a disappointment if you take him top ten but is perfectly fine if you take him at like #30. You know what I mean? |

But Is karlaftis a fit? I loved his interview and the chiefs are due to get a character guy but his size and length don’t fit the mold of what we normally seek.
I just don’t see the necessity of drafting a DE round 1 with this group of DE’s possibly available at 50 and later. Is karlaftis or Johnson have more upside than say Sam Williams? 7. D. Ojabo 8. A. Ebiketie 9. D. Jackson 10. S. Williams 11. L. Hall 12. C. Thomas 13. K. Enagbare 14. A. Barno 15. M. Sanders Quote:

Does Sam Williams have more upside? I don't know about that. Athletically, absolutely. That said, Johnson has some pretty good athleticism. But he's also nowhere near Karlaftis or Johnson technically or from a "motor" standpoint. I think about guys that are really good and they just keep coming every single down, win or lose. I don't think you're getting that from Williams but I do think you're getting it from Karlaftis and Johnson. That's my hangup. I fell in love with the athletic talent early on but have come down quite a bit on Williams. I'd like him in the 3rd. It's hard to measure upside, it's alot more than athleticism. The guy needs the drive to be great. |

In looking at your list I do not see Olave, Burks, Karlaftis, or Wyatt being available at 29 and 30.
But if they are I would go with Olave and Wyatt with the first two picks. I would then take Cameron Thomas (11.5 sacks) at 50 and Sam Williams (12.5 sacks) at 62. The Chiefs got a mere 31 sacks last year. That has to change. |

Great point. I just think that there’s enough talent in that group that we don’t need to reach for a DE in the first. I don’t like Mafe or karlaftis that much more than a few others in the DE group that should be available later.
