I think Clay Matthews might have gained weight like you suggest as he was a college walk on.
As for playing at 255 vs 245, look at Demeco, he was 230 out of college, now 250, so likely the strength is helpful vs the slight loss of speed, guess it depends on what need to do.
Cushing seems to be doing great for Texans so far. Looking forward to seeing the regular season and improved defense this year.

What Cushing said gives more evidence that it is very risky for teams to put too much stock in combine results. A player's performance on tape against quality competition should be by far the main measuring stick of his worth. Unless, of course, you're Al Davis.
