He had 7.5 sacks as a Freshman. He had 2 in 2 games as a Sophomore. In year 3 he only had 4.5 while being double and triple teamed often. That entire narrative is based on year 3. |

Again, not saying he's Reggie White, there's a reason he wasn't drafted in the top 15. But there's the reason he didn't pile up sacks in his last year in college. he would've had to be elite to beat double-teams consistently, and then it follows he would've been drafted in the top 15, not at 30.

He's a rookie playing next to Nnada, and receiving pass rushing pointers from Frank Clark.
The Chiefs are lucky this guy can put his ****ing uniform on correctly. |

Even against the Hawkeyes vaunted line last year, he was a game wrecker. Teams started tripling him because he was, quite simply, a man amongst boys a lot of the time. |

Reminds me of the CP take that McDuffy is injury prone.

The problem isn't Karlaftis, it's the failure to provide him with a complementary bookend. And ultimately it's the expectations laid out there by idiots with blogs and blue check marks who predicted him smashing DT's sack record. That was always a completely asinine expectation.

There's supposedly 64 starting edge players and he's 47th as a rookie good for 2nd amongst rookies. Could it better? Sure. But damn, give the guy some time.

I'm waiting to be proven wrong concerning Karlaftis after being a preseason MVP, but he's JAG. His most ardent supporters made him out to be post knee injury Justin Houston or prime Justin Smith.

To be fair, every draft pick the Chiefs make are pumped up to be All Pros until they prove they aren't. Moore was going to be the #1 by the end of the season. Karlaftis was going to have 8 sacks, Kinnard was taking Wylie's job before the bye etc. All that shit has to come with a grain of salt.

He's going to play clean-up opposite someone more explosive. He's more of a Tamba Hali guy, that needs a more explosive EDGE on the other side to generate sacks consistently.
