Had an NFC Personnel executive tell me “He reminds me of J.J. Watt, when Watt was coming out. An explosive and versatile playmaker who has a high motor and can line up at 3,5, or 7. Very strong kid” #NFL#NFLDraftpic.twitter.com/5qM3g6OrMr

George has more sacks than Sam, more QB pressures and more passes defended.

Sam Williams is a good pass rusher. But he’s in the Aldon Smith mold. There’s a reason he doesn’t get more snaps. And it’s convenient you’re using him as well. And not the other 5 pass rushers chosen between the two.
While we’re at it. Joshua Williams sucks because Tariq Woolen is better and selected later. [Reply]

I suggest we merge this type of comment with the Watson gets more snaps than Skyy Moore thread(s).
The kid isn't a JAG, he's just now figuring the NFL out. Will he be a Tamba or DT when it comes to sacks? Probably not, but I'll take those pressures and batted balls as a sign Veach made the right call. [Reply]

Everybody thought Tamba hit his ceiling as a 8-9 sack per year guy that gets lots of pressures till they moved to a 3-4. Then all you heard was how he can’t plAy that position. Then he got like 15 sacks.
George is going to be really good as he develops string pass rush moves and learns to use leverage better, like Tamba did.
This DL just needs another consistent edge rusher to flush ABs out of the pocket away from them and CJ95. [Reply]

Demarcus Lawrence & Micah Parsons.
I'm using Sam Williams because if you look back that's who I wanted KC to select during the draft process. [Reply]
Karlaftis is doing fine. He's never going to be that quick twitch edge rusher with great bend. He's going to get his sacks from hard work and hustle. He's batting down passes, he's getting pressure. His sacks aren't glamorous but there were many times last year, especially against Burrow, when we needed those cleanup sacks and couldn't get them.
I haven't really seen any run game breakdown on him. I'm wondering if that is what is driving such a low pff grade.
Time will tell how he grades against Williams, Ebiketie, Hall and the other guys taken right after him. [Reply]

He admitted to this much earlier in the thread.
Dude thinks he just has to be right , he is being proven wrong in front of the whole world, and is doubling down on stupid at a level that's pretty impressive even for CP. [Reply]
