This is one of those situations where the Patriots have plenty of need, but this edge guy looks real good!
It’s tricky at draft time. You see all those great players with potential, but your team only has so many picks. (unless you’re a KC Chiefs fan!). Not only that, but they only have one in the first round, and not surprisingly, that’s where all the guys you really like are projected to go!
It’s an emotional time, but hey, when is being a fan not emotional, and trying, and exhausting? Okay I digress.
The tricky thing is that I know the Patriots need a corner back, linebacker…. the list goes on, but there’s this good looking edge guy, and I don’t mean handsome but each to their own!
George Karlaftis out of Purdue looks like, how do you say, a baller.
6’4”, 266 pounds of Greek god, if you like that kind of thing, but I mean on the field!
He is said to have significant power in his lower half and a strong pass rusher. He’s versatile with the ability to line up on the inside, are any of you drooling right now?
If not, do you want more? He jumped a 38” vertical, benched 21 reps and his broad jump was 10’1”, not to mention at the combine, he ran great run drills, lovely range of movement, and solid ball skills.
So maybe this is one of those situations where, if the top cornerbacks have all been plucked, maybe nab this quality guy, kinda thing. If not, so be it. I know the Patriots have plenty of holes to fill. But I tell you what, whichever team picks him up are going to have themselves one fantastic edge guy.
