Karlaftis wins in his second move and by being relentless. Gillotte is someone that's looking to set you up snap by snap (rather than within a snap) and beat you with a single move. He will challenge your outside shoulder a bit more and does the speed to power thing a bit better.

Can't think of a comp at the moment, but it ain't Karlaftis.

A lesser version of Brian Burns?

with that size and athleticism I don't think he's a 'lesser' version of anyone.

As a prospect at least. Burns was a top first round guy. Kinda unfair to compare these two straight up.

If he’s exactly Burns, then this is a homerun.

I have a hard time saying he’ll be that, even though I’m a big fan of this pick.

Nah - Burns can lever/lift your ass out of there. Gillotte really can't.

Whitney Mercilus do anything for ya? Struggling to come up with a ton of 3-point stance guys.

That’s why I prefaced with “lesser”. Can’t make a Burns comp straight up.

Mercilus could be a good one (still one of the best names in football history).

Yeah, but because of Burns length advantage, he just plays differently.

Even Mercilus really isn't a fair comp. He's gonna be a player but Mercilus was DAMN good.

Ill come up with somethin.....

Mathias Kiwanuka?

MK was 6’6 265. Can’t find his arm length but I’m thinking at least 34”. He actually played SaM LB when injuries occurred and he was able to stand up and pound on TEs Shorter and more compact. Standing this guy up and widening him out helps him. He is excellent with leverage and his hands

He was my favorite of the 2nd tier DEs. Highly productive, has the length that Spags will like. Willing (but raw) against the rush.

What sets him apart from some 'spags' DEs, IMO, is that he really does have good burst. Not super bendy, but not bad.

Really nice pick.

There is no length to him being sub 32” is pretty poor but the production is great though so who cares. Karlaftus like in that he is also short armed but simply plays his ass off. This kid is like Chenal , sub 32” arm length just a chubbier ( lack of a better way to put it. Think James Harrison. Maybe 5’10” but just an ass kicker. ONL is like a Jimmy Wilkerson build. Or Allen Bailey right when he came out but a pudgy version. Not bodybuilder build but who cares. They win like collegiate wrestlers. What made Casey Weigmann a great center same thing different position. Choosing them flat out on production vs 6-4+ 250+ 34” 10” arm and hand length. They had neither body type aside from Chenal and Danna.

DL is like your pitching staff and bullpen. Throw as many different body types and styles at the OL and it ****s with their heads. Good on Cullen calling for just go get me these gnarly rugged dogs who are productive and add them to what we have. It fits. Different approach but a nice surprise. James Harrison like style

More athletic but less powerful Tamba Hali?

I kinda think maybe just 'better Danna' is the right answer. He's faster, he's more powerful, he's more productive. He's built similarly but again, just better. Danna isn't always out there chaining moves together.

Halis a hard comp because he wasn't really impressive in terms of traits but developed such a nice arsenal off pass rush moves.

If Gillotte were to do that he would be my previous comp - Mercillus.
