There are maybe 7-8 consistently elite pass rushers in the NFL. After that, it's a bunch of guys that bounce around between 6 and 12 sacks, usually with several years between those 10-12 sack seasons.
Karlaftis is a very good player who is getting better each season. He's easily worth that 5th year option tag.

it's kinda like back in the day when we drafted simms. he was only good in college because he was playing next to a stud named julius peppers.
my gut says his production is purely tied to working on the same line as CJ.
i like the guy, not saying his fifth shouldn't be picked up, i just think if he was on any other line, he wouldn't be as good.
