Yetur Gross-Matos | Age: 21 | Penn State | NFL Draft

One of the highest ceilings among edge rushers in the draft, Gross-Matos has the build and skill set to be a strong replacement for Sheard. Having the build and strength to set the edge against the run, Gross-Matos also has the upside to be a productive pass rusher after some development.

There are still some kinks that Gross-Matos has to work out, especially when it comes to developing a plan. But when it comes to his explosiveness, size and getting off the line, there aren’t many prospects with the ceiling of the former Nittany Lion.

Given his upside, Gross-Matos is likely to be selected in the first round. That price may be too rich for Chris Ballard’s taste, but the Penn State product is still an option with over two months remaining until the draft.
