He reminds me of...(bear with me here) Myles Garrett, Soloman Thomas, and.... D-Law. He’s a high effort, long limbed, agile Dend. He has a freaky build at 6-5 265 and can beat defenders around the corner (he has decent bend) or with a nasty speed to power move. He also likes to go inside alot. He’s still raw with his pass rushing skills but looks promising with what he’s done so far. I just love this guys upside. He gives a ton of effort and his production is pretty good.

*Production- 94 Tackles, 34.5 Tackles for loss and 17 sacks.

* His last 2 years at Penn State


I saw this guy demolish Iowa, Wisconsin, and Ohio State Olinemen. The big ten talent in the trenches is no joke (Same with the SEC


Versatility- He is a well built 4-3 end but i think you can even stand him up as he has held his own whenever doing so. He also has some experience moving inside. He’s made some plays by just being too quick for the guard. That would be a wonderful combo with either Mccoy or Poe.


If we are talking about upside, i prefer Chaisson from LSU. He is a perfect fit for this defense. I just think YGM is underrated and can be a big time player against both the running and passing game. I actually like his floor compared to Chaisson’s but i would still go with Chaisson if he is there. A trade back scenario getting YGM may be my hope but i’m not sure how long he lasts.

We need pass rush if we don’t go Corner, i also really would like C.J Henderson but i’m not sure he lasts either. We lost Byron, And Quinn! Our secondary was good last year for the most part but we got ate up sometimes and now we lost our best corner. The run defense was the main problem, which Quinn had some blame in by playing heroball sometimes. He did an amazing job rushing the qb when he was on the field though. He will be missed badly by our sack team but I think Randy Gregory/Aldon Smith...(BIG HOPE HERE) will shake off the rust and give us some much needed speed on the outside. I think YGM gives us a good balance out there too!


...I’m also starting to like Zack Baun.


TLDR- he’s good

Yetur Gross-Matos
6-5, 266, 34-7/8 arm length
19 sacks in college
18.5 sacks in High School

He is a DLaw style pass rusher with the size to hold up in run defense.

I'd rather Gross-Matos to the CBs who are being mocked to us. I'm not a big fan because he doesn't have the quick twitch, but there's no doubt he's got pass rush skill and size. If we draft him in a trade down, perhaps, I'd also want to draft a pass rushing DT later in the draft.

Yeah, I have to come clean on this guy too. I like him more than Chaisson. There, I said it! But I am not that high on Chaisson so there's that. I would not pick YGM at 17 but if he falls to them at 51..take him in a minute.

I have a family member who is a Penn State Grad, we watch the majority of the games together. You barely notice him during games, solid all around player, but not special in any way. Not a scout by any means, just don't think Matos will become an elite player at the position.

I see them as two different players.

Charlton’s production spiked dramatically his senior season whereas he had pretty mediocre career prior.

Matos has put up very good seasons back-to-back as a sophomore and junior.

I get a real D-Law feel out of him. Not the greatest athlete ever, but he still wins with a combo of leverage, hands and agility. He's a great edge setter too.

That being said, I wouldn't consider him at all at #17. He doesn't have the same high-end potential that say Ruggs, Chaisson or Henderson have, and he doesn't have the kind of rock solid, ready-to-start-yesterday game that say Ruiz or McKinney have. I wouldn't consider him until about pick #30.

D-Law had pass rush moves, YGM has a bull rush. No thanks

He certainly has had more production, he just looks like a more steady type of performer then a star. Taco had similar tools, but he needed to further develop. My guess is Matos will also receive more of a 2nd rd grade by the team. Trade down, late in rd 1 is probably more in his range, not 17.

I’m a fan. Thinks he’s got the tools to be a stud just need more polish / technique work to reach his potential.

Not a fan at 17, but def in the 2nd.
