With Karlaftis you have a supposed power end player who's going to be trying to use 16th percentile arm length to stab tackles and control reps. I don't see how his game translates to massive success in the pros.
With Booth you have a history of tendinitis and a mysterious core muscle surgery at an inopportune time. They'd also be asking a guy who's sort of clunky in zone coverage to fit into a cover 3/cover 1 defense.

I'd be wary of investing that much draft capital in him over Elam or one of the Washington boys.
A trade down could be great. Maybe a top IDL or IOL player falls to them.
I like him but but is Karlaftis a strict pass rushing DE or can he also move inside and play the 3 technique? He's young for experience as a player as he just started playing rather late in HS and his best days are ahead of him but already having Joseph Ossai is like getting a free draft pick and, imo, there's lots of upside there.
