Round 1, Pick No. 27: Yetur Gross-Matos, DE, Penn State
Perhaps the most oft mocked player to the Seahawks, Gross-Matos is an obvious pick for the Seahawks if he’s still around at No. 27 – and of course if the team decides to keep the pick.
Gross-Matos recorded 17 sacks and 34.5 tackles for loss in his final two years at Penn State, and with some refinement most scouts believe he will become an above average or elite pass rusher at the next level.
With or without Jadeveon Clowney, the Seahawks need more players capable of getting to the quarterback. Gross-Matos is one of few NFL-ready EDGE prospects in this year’s draft class, and they should be thrilled to get him at No. 27 overall.
