Yetur Gross-Matos | EDGE| Penn State
This edge class is certainly interesting. Outside of Chase Young, who is likely to go No. 2 overall, there are a lot of question marks with the prospects in this class. Some have athletic tools but raw games while others aren’t great athletes but their tape shows a productive prospect.
Gross-Matos is expected to be a late-Day 1 prospect who has a combination of production and intriguing athleticism on the edge. He has the size, length and athleticism to be a force on the edge of an even front while kicking inside if needed. He sets a strong edge against the run and flashes plenty of potential as a pass rusher.
However, there are questions about his pass rush plan and the development needed to diversify his moves coming off the edge. He has good size but could benefit from adding some weight to his tall and long frame, which would help consistently set the edge.
Gross-Matos is extremely intriguing and given the Colts’ affinity for building up the trenches, he is a target for a late-Day 1 trade. With Justin Houston in a contract year and Ben Banogu and Kemoko Turay still developing, there is a chance he could be worth moving up for in the late 20s.
