High motor guy with attack mindset and brutal hits. Yeah, I like. He's our Watt. Our Bosa.

He's not got quite a Bosa athletic profile, but the Watt comp fits nicely I think.

Just a nice pick at the end of the first.

Yeah well, he's going to line up next to Chris Jones. You can't double them both, can you?

Yeah, high pressure rate with low sack conversion numbers has a strong correlation with being THE guy on a DL, with not much around you.

Now you need a speed guy opposite him.

Why was his junior year so bad? I can see the intrigue about his freshman year, but it looks like he started every game in 2021 but only recorded 4.5 sacks?

* Likes Lawrence's trolling in both of these threads.

He's f'd and he knows it. Bottom of the AFCW. Again.

Good luck buddy.

He only played in 3 games. Had an injury, then COVID cut the season short.

I liked this pick last night and I like it even more this morning after watching the Kelce reaction to the selection. Of course he's going to call it a good pick, but the smile on his face and "Aww, yeah!" the instant the pick was called tells me #87 approves. Some here and national pundits can bitch all they want, but Kelce plays football for a living.

Where’s that at?

That’s for season 2020. It says 2021 he played all 12 games..

I don't understand the Watt comp at all... Watt is superhuman freak athlete, who is a 3x DPOY and HOFer, it doesn't seem fair to my Big Fat Greek Sacking.


God I hope he is, but expecting Watt seems like folly.

Yep, I agree. I project him to cause multiple headaches and tears for Carr.

I think people are comparing to Watt on the Steelers. I could be wrong though.

Eleazar 04-29-2022 07:42 AM
I don't think we need to get carried away comparing him to HOFers. He was picked right where he was projected. Just a solid late-1st pick at a position of severe need. That is a good thing.

JJ Watt Combine:

4.91 40-yard dash
34 bench press
37 vertical jump
120 broad jump
6.88 3 cone
4.21 shuttle

Karlaftis Combine:

4.71 40-yard dash
21 bench press
38 vertical jump
121 broad jump
6.78 3 cone
4.36 shuttle

His 3 cone beating JJ's by a full tenth of a second is excellent news.

His strength isn't there, but JJ had a full 24 pounds on him coming out.

As soon as this kid gets in an NFL weight program he's going to be an absolute beast.
