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.

Expound.

I think where his lateral agility stands out is in a way that doesn't necessarily translate to his position. Turning and running (i.e. a 3-cone drill) isn't something he's going to be asked to do often.

Instead, I think you want to see flexibility - someone that can maintain drive with his body turned. And I think that's actually an area where he struggles a fair amount. I don't see a guy who can get rocked, re-set and hold his ground in a rep. I don't see a guy likely to throw up a double move, get a OT on his heels and then swim inside him.

He has to turn his body to get going in the direction he's trying to go. There's just some baseline flexibility issues I see that probably diminish his ceiling.

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?

I was expecting Ravens to grab him with their 2nd pick but Linderbaum was just too good to pass for them.

I was already complaining in my mind, damn another good football player that just lands in their lap.

Real happy he made it to us.

How ****ing reeruned are you? He hasn’t hit on a cb you say?? LMAOLMAO

It looked like Karlaftis had him a sista too LMAO

I was talking so much smack in the shop today about how awesome our draft is. Veach rules, smartest guy in 6he room. Just ask him. :)

Glad I wasn't the only one that saw that.

Karlaftis liked the dark chocolate and McDuffie liked the white. LMAO

Or you could do a little reading.

A quick google search will be illuminating.

Or Like I said originally, I can just take your word for it, dick.

I'm no scout, but watching some of his highlights makes me think about Maxx Crosby. That's who he reminds me of anyway.

Hali is closer

After watching some highlight reels a few things are obvious:

This kid possesses excellent footwork in all aspects, whether he's setting the edge or evading a cut block or beating his blocker to the POA.

He has really good hands and seems to regularly beat his blockers to the punch.

He has excellent vision. He locates the ball and attacks it at a high level.

He plays with a violence that rivals Melvin Ingram. Something this DL sorely needs, especially if we don't re-sign Ingram.

Right now he might be the best DE on the team. He might be the best DL, period.

LMAO Bro loves TJ Maxx apparently.

I see some Maxx Crosby, btw I like this pick and didn't think he'd be there at 30.
