38. Carolina Panthers
Yetur Gross-Matos | EDGE | Penn State
The defensive line rebuild continues in Carolina, as the Panthers eschew bigger needs in the back seven to add a talented pass rusher here.
Gross-Matos had first-round potential, thanks to his prototypical frame and complete skill set. He has the size, strength and power to anchor the edge against the run, but also the ability to collapse the pocket as a pass rusher.
Linebacker, corner and safety may have been more pressing needs, but it’s hard to argue with the value here. You can never have too many pass rushers in today’s NFL, so this pick makes plenty of sense.
