LOVE IT

HIGH MOTOR

LUNCHPAIL GUY

Nice pick!

Boiler Up!

A+ draft

Dude, your the guy that said no spoilers. Then you keep spoiling it! WTF

Incredible first round

HE PLAYS FOR MY FAVORITE FOOTBALL TEAM THE NFL'S KANSAS CHITY CHIEFS

What a day for the chiefs 2 great players

BUST /s

THANK YOU BURT

Dude, I don’t love it.

When he played Ohio State, we shut him down. He was quieter than a church mouse.

I would have taken Christian Watson.

Best first round since Mahomes.

Oh HELL YES!

im.a little mystified with no WR too but keep in mind what Brady did with hot garbage at WR

mahomes needs to.earn that half billion

Dude, I don’t love it.

When he played Ohio State, we shut him down. He was quieter than a church mouse.

I would have taken Christian Watson.

I put up the player thread if we get them when it leaks; I do not post it in the no spoiler draft thread, where (presumably) everyone is.

I'm more than happy to wait on these - just let me know guys!

Nailed this draft

He ain't even AMERICAN!!!

Dude, I don’t love it.

When he posted draft spoilers, we shut him down. He was quieter than a church mouse.

I would have committed suicide via tire fire.

Add him to the Chiefs with a hot girlfriend list.

he looks like he's missing a chromosome

i love it

Chiefs got a top 10/15 guy at 21 and a top 20 guy at 30.

What a ****ing W.

Hang in there SR. Mahomes is still our QB. (And 87 is still our TE.) Our new receivers will impress with Mahomes and Reid. Plenty of WRs left in the draft. We're good!

You keep doing what you do. Don't let the others dictate what you want to do.

If the others don't want to know, they should just keep pressing F5 on this thread to find out.

I mean we've had one first round pick since Mahomes, but I hear ya.

Yesssssssssss!!!!!!!!



:clap:

This boy gonna destroy.

DESTROY

Only those sweet beautiful claims gonna protest this pick

If we judged guys by 1 game, Patrick Mahome is no longer a good NFL QB after the AFCCG.

HOT dog. I live across the river from Purdue; this is the local kid done good and the one I've been waiting all night for.

He's a beast, too. Our beloved Chiefs got a good one here.

ESPN absolutely tearing this pick apart.

Booger and Kiper basically both saying he's not athletic enough and his arms are too short.

Espn not sold on the pick, so I'm happy...

This is a solid pick. The chiefs defense is better than it was yesterday.

Bert filled 2 positions of need with good players at good value spots to take them.

Rodgers told McAfee there were 6 WRs with 1st round grades when they're all gone you don't take one to take one.

Good interview here:

Wbf

Cum 4 us Staylor!!!

I love how other prospects were all saying "looking forward to winning some games."

When the Chiefs draft a dude, it's "winning some Super Bowls."

No expectations, because this ****ing feels like a Peterson pick

They're not wrong on the arms are too short. But they are discounting the fact that the kid can hold his own on the edge.

**** yeah **** yeah **** yeah

I love this pick. Reminds me of Justin smith.

This guy looks slow for a pass rusher

lets go

put the ****ing hurt on Wilson, Herbert, Carr... all the ****ing QB's except Mahomie!

OPA!

We need Spags and Joe Cullen to let this Greek kid know that Tershawn Wharton is called “Turk” but it is just a nickname, so let’s be friends.

How many more times you to remind us?

Bart did fine tonight

McDuffie C+

George B-

Joe Cullen knows what he’s doing with the DL guys.

If he signed of on Karlaftis, then that’s all you need to know.

**** ohio state.

Lol yeah he's so slow dude had 10 pressures against one of the best coached offensive lines in the country

Chiefs selected Purdue EDGE George Karlaftis with the No. 30 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.

In another age, Karlaftis (6’4/266) would have been guarding Mount Olympus, as the Purdue star was born in Athens, Greece before moving to Indiana, where he developed into a four-star recruit. He was a foundational player for the program, logging 843 snaps while generating 54 tackles, 17.0 TFL, 7.5 sacks, two PBUs, and an interception and earning first-team Freshman All-American and second-team. Last year, Karlaftis posted 41 tackles, 11.5 TFLs, five sacks, three fumbles, and two PBUs while earning second-team All-American recognition. The five sacks weren’t eye-popping, but those numbers don’t show just how destructive he was on an every-down basis, as the Greek strongman posted the second-highest pressure rate in the nation when lining up against left tackles and ranked seventh in quarterback hits with 14. He backed up the on-field performance with a strong set of testing numbers, ranking as the 120th most athletic edge defender out of 1,455 that have tested for the NFL since 1987. Karlaftis has a frenetic first step, rushes with a plan, and displays exceptional hand technique to go with a relentless motor while his stout base makes him hard to move in the run game. Though he gets critiqued for lack of elite bend, Karlaftis has the power, work ethic, and talent to be a quality starter in the league for years to come.

Oh.

This is gonna age SO well.

Get ready to see this quoted in some sigs.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The Chiefs filled their two biggest needs with CB and EDGE.

I like this guy, he’s fast and bendy on the edge.

7 sacks 2019
4.5 sacks last year..

seems like another chiefs reach pick (reach..get it..,this guy has t-rex arms)

we dont need more pressure we need qb killers..

Damn it Karlleftus!

The chiefs just drafted a spartan with pick 30….Leonitis was probably his daddy….and some of you will be pissed……until he screams “This is Arrowhead” and kicks Russel Wilson into a pit.

Veach continues to hate old people

I would have taken Christian Watson.

I'd just about flip those.

McDuffie is a B+. We will need him in this conference.

Karloftis is a D+. Not athletic enough, little upside. High JAG potential.

Meh.

This sucks. 2 first round picks and we traded up to not get a good player,

My Big Fat Greek Sacking

so many Corners still around. .

good thing we traded up and took the smallest one

Be sure you add me agreeing with him.

Happy with this one, by far. He affects QBs routinely. A power rusher and power wins in the NFL. Veach be swinging that big dick tonight. Yeehaw. :D

We got the #2 CB in the draft and a Week 1 starter at DE.

Any Chief with an ugly girlfriend must be a real f-up.

How can you guys say he isn't athletic enough? He is actually very athletic

Lotta discount JJ Watt vibes.

Wow TEX, I'm surprised you can even see the draft with all those Tyreek Hill tears in your eyes.

Looks like a dude who wants to do nothing but eat Fish sticks and play football. Great pick.

oh ****

total veach pick
