Gross-Matos is a perfect prospect for the Rams. He can play outside linebacker, defensive end and even defensive tackle in their scheme, and versatility on the defensive front is something new DC Brandon Staley has emphasized.

Gross-Matos may take a year to have a big impact on whichever team drafts him, but his motor, length and pass-rush repertoire make him an enticing prospect. The Rams are deep along the defensive line, but with Dante Fowler Jr. and Clay Matthews gone, they could use some help at outside linebacker.

Moving up for Gross-Matos wouldn’t be a bad idea if he slips into the early second round.
