If Karlaftis learns to use his hands it will negate the short arm issue a bit. The non-stop motor is the key.
Yup.

He'll have to develop into one of those guys who just isn't very much fun to play against. Get heavy, violent hands that are constantly making OTs work through the whistle and by the 3rd/4th quarter they'll just get tired of it and start letting their technique slip.

He's not a guy that's going to be shot out of a cannon on the first snap for a strip/sack. He's water carving out a rock. He's just going to have to keep coming and coming and coming until the other guys will just slowly slips away.

He's just not terribly explosive. But again, that's okay. This is a guy that sets an outstanding foundation to build around. A solid, dependable player that allows you to take more aggressive swings at the other DE position on guys like Mafe, Jackson, Ojabo, Williams, etc...

And lets also not forget that he's a BABY. In a draft loaded w/ 23 and 24 year old rookies, this kid just turned 21 a few weeks ago. He could take 2 years to develop and still be younger than Mafe is now. He'd be the same age as Jermaine Johnson.

And from a football age standpoint, he's barely starting out. There are a lot of rough edges that can be refined that allow him to win on technique rather then bend and explosiveness going forward.
Yeah, I like the idea of pairing him with Drake Jackson a LOT. (Jackson turned 21 this month). The coolest thing about that pairing is that if you're thinking long-term, and you end up transitioning BACK to a 34 defense at some point, both of these guys fit with that, also. Jackson could easily play OLB and Karlaftis can play a 5-tech, easily.

He's not going to win with raw speed, but he can win with quickness and technique. His burst is pretty good (10 and 20-yard splits indicate that), and he does have quick hands.

The fact that Joe Cullen is now involved with these DL selections just makes me feel so much better.

If Karlaftis got drafted by the Ravens and he was there, is there any doubt that he would at least be a good player?

That's good, but we've also had a good DL coach the past few years and haven't exactly been DL University.

He hasn't had the talent infusion in his defense though.

The forking maroons in this thread will go down in infamy worse than ones in the Super Bowl thread - who I also correctly called out during that game, saying that they would live forever in infamy.

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.

This kid has 3 major things going for him that you can’t teach:

-Motor
-Elite lateral agility
-Work ethic

That lateral agility of his is gonna come in handy. It’s right there with Aidan Hutchinson. It’s elite. And his work ethic is going to help him get better. He went from 25% body fat to 15% body fat while getting to 272 lbs.

I listened to his interview and he said he knew strength wasn’t enough. He would lift and then go work on his hand work by practicing hand combat MMA moves.

His floor is really high and I’m fine with that. We desperately needed a worker like him especially with Frank Clark’s problems.

Love that he can play all over the line as well. Can easily see him lining up next to Chris Jones on some situations

Could you upload a lower res signature photo? The one you're using is crashing my browser.
