If so, do you think it was him who wanted Karloftis?? I suppose he has input. Most teams have a board and see who is still available at that pick. All in all Im sure Spags was involved in all the D picks. does he have the final say? Unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware how it all works and I should've been more specific with my question...I was wondering if he had the final say so.. AFCWEST 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One rather invisible game in his rookie year trying to push through Buffalo tackles means nothing. Just good experience. Anyway, we needed DE's, and he was the best left on the board. Maybe if we had lost 12 or 13 games last year, we could have grabbed the best one. AFCWEST 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua Williams is stride for stride with him. If you'll look at replay he actually had his hand up and dropped it while in stride. I'll take this kid over Fenton right now. I thought the same thing. Its frustrating when they get beat but they are right there against one of the best in the L. This experience if utilized correctly will only benefit his development.

He seems like a high motor player who just doesn't have the bend to exploit tackles quick enough to make an impact. I know he is a rookie so there is still tons of time left for him to develop. We hoping for an occasional wow play during this process. Regardless, we need a legit stud at DE at the trade deadline or during the offseason. artsy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I haven't seen much to convince me, but yes I know he is a rookie so I'll just have to wait and see. But having a motor doesn't really relate to sacks...unless you have a secondary that can force the qb to hold the ball longer. Maybe that was the thought process when he was drafted. By the way, I feel like there were a few pretty good DE's left on the board when we drafted him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember the names off the top, and I haven't heard anything about them either. However, I didn't see anything on Karloftis' college tape that screamed 1st rd pick. No bend, no hand technique and no agility, ie spin moves etc. A motor aint shit to me but a dude that runs around at 100 mph and doesn't quit till the whistle. That's good for a LB, but not for DE imo. BUT, I'll reserve judgement since he's a rookie. After all, Tamba had a motor coming out and was able to ADD to that later on.

He's a pressure guy, and yes, he is new to American football and just starting to learn. Pressure rushers don't need that much bend. They need to be strong and relentless. They knew all this when he was drafted, expecting to use Dunlap on that side during Karlaftis' first year, whenever a speed rush was needed. The fact that he is starting as a rookie indicates that the coaches feel he has a high ceiling. His floor is already average, maybe better. He is just learning how to use his feet and hands against NFL competition. His strength is very impressive. He is extremely intelligent and by all accounts is picking things up fast and has a passion to learn and improve. To have questions about him being lousy at this point is ridiculous. In a year, we will know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Karloftis is a Spags type, I'd guess he pushed for him. Before we start getting down on that pick, let's give it some time. Too many players are judged by fans before they learn to play at the top level.. DJ is a prime example but there are many others. Same for Williams. He got burned twice yesterday, but showed he can keep up and just needs to learn finishing. From his lack of experience and his small school background, he didn't really have a chance to compete against Davis or Diggs. Let's give the new guys some time before jumping on their cases. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroncoStud 3,253 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I was at this game with my wife and kids, and have to admit, the Chiefs fans were on really good behavior. Last two times I was at Arrowhead it was a lot more hostile. My 13 year old and I ate so much Gates on this trip that I don't want to see any more BBQ for a while. mex and qnet 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
