You know his assistant and got a copy of his presser beforehand. I have the DMs we shared.

I should clarify that I like the McDuffie pick, a lot, but paired with GK, I think Jermaine Johnson and Daxton Hill/Lewis Cine would make a better set of two players.

this guy probably walks around with a permanent boner and doesn't even realize it

"oh i thought that's just how everyone's dick was?"

He steps on the field hes our best rusher other than Jones.

Huge need filled at low cost.

I want George to mate with Gracie so he can permanently wreck the genetics of the Hunt/Shackles bloodline.

He seemed to get abused by tOSU

QBs are supposed to be a certain height... well, except for the short guys who turn into HOFers

WRs are supposed to meet a certain threshold in 3-cone times or else they can't get open in the NFL... except for the ones who take a giant piss on that shit

LBs need to be a certain weight. RBs need to run a certain 40 time. The list goes on and on.

That doesn't mean you draft a ****ing grandma in a wheelchair, but it also doesn't mean you dismiss a player as ****ing broken if they're not within the commonly accepted norm for body or type of athlete. You take those red flags and investigate them... find out why they were successful and whether those traits are things you can still work with.

The Chiefs didn't ignore the length of his arms. They have his measurements. People are acting like this shit is something they didn't know about.

Watched a couple of those highlights and it sure seemed like when he was in the game they were purposely scheming him out on offense as much as possible. Rolling the other direction, a few chips, and some incredibly quick passes.

And they decided that his actual football playing ability outweighed how long his ****ing arms are.

Well thank **** that the Ohio State isn’t in the AFC West.

This, if McDuffie was an inch taller and the Greek Freak (can't spell his name yet) had slightly longer arms they probably both go in the top 10...

I saw that in the Ohio State film for sure. He's the only one they really had to scheme for.

This guy is your motor guy that brings it every play, he isn't gonna lead the league in sacks. But guys like him do matter.

sloth love sack

The ball was being released by Ohio State in about 2 secs most snaps...

The only game he had 0 sacks or pressures and still had a tackle for loss. How about the Iowa game with 10+ pressures or just about any other game of his career?

Did you write off Jameson Williams so quickly when he only caught 2 balls against Auburn or Mississippi St? My guess is you wanted to trade up for him.

BABY RUUUUTTTTHHHHH!

I understand. But, he isn't a bendy type of rusher who is going to make moves to elude an NFL tackle.

He isn't an explosive athlete who is going to blow by an NFL tackle.

If he can't get his hands on the tackle in order to bull rush, how is he going to beat NFL tackles?

I sincerely hope that I am an idiot, and GK tears up the league, and proves to be the edge rusher we need.

Will he win sometimes? Yes. But, even with his PFF grade, or how other experts graded him, he was still there at 30 for a reason.

So..

Arm lengths
Karlaftis 32 5/8
Hutchinson 32 1/8

So does Hutchinson also suck with his midget arms?

Yea cause we got GMs taking 3rd round players in round one like the Pats.

I guess so… Evidently arm length is the end all, be all of EDGE rushers.

Yeah if this were the NBA draft and were talking about wing players they'd have a point. These boys don't watch college ball and have not a clue what they are talking about. Looking for shit to nitpick about like were making the #1 overall pick

Nick Bosa has 33 so apparently that few centimeters difference really matters right?

Karlaftis is slow and has short arms we should have gave Mathieu and extension though

Come on, if you watch tape on both, Hutchinson looks like an explosive athlete compared to Karlaftis.

To a few posters on here it’s a really big deal apparently.

If he can channel John Randle as a DT then he could be good. As a DE, he needs to be a large dude like JJ Watt.

Don’t forget the whole sucking against tOSU thing. Dude has bust written all over him /s

Hutchinson 36 vert 117 broad

Karlaftis 38 vert 121 broad

When everyone at least has 17 inch dongs on CP, it means the world.

he runs the 40 .13 faster than jj watt did, too :D

Just wait until this kid gets into an NFL strength program.

What's my new avy?

That's what I was thinking as well. Looks like he has the frame and flexibility to add a bit and not lose the speed. I really like the potential here. He seems to have good quick vision in his highlights, and if that can carry over and improve against NFL talent, he could be fun to watch..

You’ll get it tomorrow.

I agree. He's only 21. He may have the potential to add 15 more pounds of muscle for all we know.

Ahh, gotcha.

He has really good technique and moves for a college guy, there's polish to his game. There's video of him grabbing a tackles wrists and throwing them in sprint, that's high level stuff.

What's wild is that he's only played football for six years and still has a ton to learn despite showcasing a variety of different techniques (even if he does rely on some more than others too often).

Disruptor.

Which is even more impressive considering that he hasn’t been playing football all that long. Think he’s going to be very productive here.

I said watch the tape, not compare numbers.

Do you really think Karlaftis was talented enough to be the #2 pick? Do you really think Hutchinson should have lasted until pick #30?

You brought up explosion.

I showed you how their they tested in that area.

Nobody is saying that Karlaftis is Hutchinson.

Oooo do tell. Was there a bet that took place? Tell us!

First page of this thread filled with experienced GMs. Lol. He’s a bust apparently according to them.

Ok, but speed isn't necessarily explosion.

Tyreek first 2 steps are way better than Hardman's first 2 steps, yet they have very similar 40 yard dash times. Tyreek is explosive and Hardman isn't.

Compared to Karlaftis, Hutchinson is explosive.

Its the old eye test.

Also, this is not Karlaftis related, but can you please tell me what the status of Joshua Kaindoh and Cornell Powell is?

Are they likely cuts, or just special teams guys? I know that they were not high draft picks, but it seems like they have been forgotten.

Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk

Take it with a grain of salt because it’s PFF but they called Karlaftis the steal of the first round.

Where are you getting that he's not athletic enough? Serious question.

They both look like explosive athletes. Hell, they both look to have similar arm length, but Chief Fan will SWEAR to you that his arms aren't long enough.

Honestly, where do people get this nonsense?

Completely talking out of his ass per usual.

Karlaftis is absolutely athletic enough.

He’s not a freak athlete.

There’s a difference.

How do his arms compare to someone like Hutchinson?

Seems like a good athlete but lack production at the Big Ten level. Solid pick but hardly an A+. Give it a B but really. Nobody has any ****ing clue until they lace it up.

Sack production was meh, but pressure production was high. It’s worth noting when you’re the dude the whole offense is focusing on since his teammates weren’t great.

So he will fit in nicely here :) I want Clark gone

You look at these picks tonight along with the signing of Reid you're starting to see a trend here with the defense: Very physical players.

Who says he can't get his hands on tackles? That's why teams coach hand technique. Some guys are really good at it, and it makes a huge difference.

He's not explosive? I thought he was plenty athletic and explosive in college, but even if not, he's CLEARLY not even closed to maxed out.

There are plenty of plays where he DOES show great bend, but to your point, those are only a handful of plays. He doesn't really demonstrate consistency there. Fair point. But again, dudes can work with their other athletic skills and understanding of technique to be better than they are. Mitchell Schwartz was far from an athletic tackle, but he was just such a damn good technician and that shit just didn't matter.

And no, he's not a project. He's a 30th overall pick. He's got plenty of great shit to work with, but like all rookies (even the blue chippers) he needs coaching, and like most OL and DL guys, he definitely needs some NFL offseason training in the years to come.

He's not exactly Breeland ****ing Speaks.

If Karlaftis can play D-Tackle, he could be very good. Though As a DE George's average.

This kid with these coaches is going to create a monster.

It’s going to be fun to watch him develop.

People tend to forget he's also raw as hell as a player, too.

There's a ton of room for growth.

Didn't play in the bowl game bad teammate!

/cp dumbasses

This motherucker came in as an 18 year old Freshman and had 7.5 sacks and 17 TFLs.

That’s crazy.

And he will put in the work to perfect every single part of his game. We have the coaches to unlock all of those doors for him, too. I can’t believe we got him without trading up. George is going to be a beast.

If we get another edge guy to book end him with, he will absolutely have similar production as Tamba had in his early years. 7-8 sacks and 3-4 forced fumbles a year. That’s while he’s developing. I think he will also have similar production as Table did during his prime, too.

I think that’s a fair assessment.

He also played at Purude where the last few years atleast absolute shit and saw double teams all the time and still produced at a high level.

Both guys are top 15 type talents. Veach is swinging fire. I bet he’s making calls right now about moving up and down tomorrow. I bet he wants a couple picks in the 5th and 6th, too.

I do wonder what he and Bolles would talk about. "It's like a whole chicken, in a can!" "Bullshit!" "Whatever dude"

This kid has DROY written all over him.

Both shorter than what you would ideally want. I think you knew that.

I would think that Fenton and Sneed would show that he's done okay at drafting CB. I'll give you the DE argument.

Anyone else here notice that the naysayers are very vocal to say their nay but don't have the brains and guts tell us who the Chiefs should have picked instead and why?

That's what Brian Fellow said...

ROFL So after all this blather, angst, crying, and horseshit, Karlaftis' arms are ACTUALLY LONGER than Hutchinson's??????? Wow.

I think the issue here for some is that Hutchinson looks like the superhero from a movie where Karlaftis looks like the guy working on the assembly line.

We have a bunch of pretty boys here on CP. TEX for instance gets a manicure every other week. comochiefs or whatever his name is lives a vegan lifestyle.

I wasn’t sure about him last night but watching video this morning and learning a little about him has me rather intrigued with Karloftis. Anxious to see him in action now.

"He's not athletic enough"-He had a 9.28 RAS
"His tape sucks"-#3 in pressure rate in college football
"His arms are too short"- His arms are longer than Hutchinson

Some of you guys are just ****ing ridiculous.

Discourse around the draft is often bloated and ignorant people commenting of players they've never seen or faking expert knowledge around things they no business talking about. Reminds me of Big Lebowski where the dude reuses words or discussion points he heard somewhere else and passes them off as his own.

This kid is going to work his tail off.

Could he have longer arms? Well, yeah, but nobody's saying that about Hutchinson who went #2.

Other than that what are the complaints? Oh, yeah, he's not the individual player some of you wanted.

Nuts. He's the anti-Clark. He's going to give 110% on every snap and be relentless.

guys like that are always welcome.

I will say that Trent McDuffie is a cutie! He seems like a sweet, nice young man.
