Karlaftis fascinates me. And the GK/Omenihu comp is an interesting one as well.
Because to one extent I agree with you but disagree to another.
As a complementary rusher, I think Karlaftis is better than Omenihu. But as a primary edge, I think Omenihu is better than GK.
In other words, if you need one of those guys as your #2 rusher, I'd rather have Omenihu. But if you need one of them as your #3 rusher, I'd rather have GK.
And I can't quite figure out why I think that. But I think it's because GK's unending motor REALLY plays up as a 3rd rusher. But as a 2nd rusher, some of his physical limitations are exposed.
Whereas Omenihu has a broader set of rush tools which makes him a better bet to win outright with less help around him. But he DOESN'T have that ridiculous motor from GK so if he DOESN'T win outright, he's less impactful.
I don't think either guy is 'better' than the other. I think they fit best in different roles.
