I love Karlaftis as a piece. Like you said - your whole line can't be speed guys. And finding someone who can rush the passer with strength/technique is actually DAMN hard to do.
It's what Veach thought we were getting with Clark. And it's hugely important. I just wish we'd have complemented him elsewhere and I don't really see anyone left in FA that does that.
There are lesser versions of the same style of player available, but I don't see anyone that is likely to give a much different look than Karlaftis will.
I guess I'll just have to be patient and hope someone surfaces next season. I mean even someone like Herring, should he blow up somehow, isn't a twitchy player. Nor is Kaindoh. There just isn't anyone on this roster or likely to be added to this roster who brings that style of play.
