George is better than every rookie EDGE but one, and better than a lot of veteran starters, including pretty much every EDGE we currently have on the team.
We didn't 'burn a 1st' on some JAG. We got a high value player that has a lot of upside.
Considering where we drafted him, and where generational DEs usually get drafted, we did pretty well, imo.

I really liked the pick, still do. This'll win me no friends BUT, I think Karlaftis has been our most disappointing rookie. He's been fine and I wasn't expecting the same ridiculous "he'll break the rookie sack record" outcome as occasionally predicted. But I've been a bit surprised at how often he's been walled off or washed out miles from the action on run plays. I really thought he'd kill there from day one even if the pass-rush took some time. The play he made against the Bucs where he knifed through for a tackle for loss was the sort of play I imagined him making a LOT. Just hasn't happened yet.
Entirely accept that my expectations were probably still a little high for him in his 1st year, and also that it's comparing him to what I've seen from the rest of the rookie class. He'll come good I'm sure.
