Strengths: Excellent pass rusher, fast and strong. Continuous pushing to the quarterback. A pristine physical specimen.

Concerns: Raw, needs to develop more.

Comments: The most upside of a rush end in the draft, Gholston has all of the tools to become the next Shawne Merriman. He absolutely manhandled the top OL prospect in the draft, Jake Long, in Ohio State’s game against Michigan this year. I expect the team that drafts him to immediately convert him to a full time OLB in a 3-4 scheme.
