Not sold on a top-25 pass rusher who is only 24 years old? Know what Trey Hendrickson was doing at 24? Playing special teams. He had a better season at 23 than Clowney ever had, and people jerk off around here to sign him every offseason. Etc.

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.
