I think Marcus Freeman, who is a really good cover 2 will, is a good example the mid-rounds.

I'll have to disagree with you again here. Matthews is a better pass-rusher and tackler than either Cushings or Sintim. Both of which will probably be gone by our 2nd round pick.
Freeman can drop in a Zone, but I'd say that Matthews has the better ability of being able to match up in Man-to-Man coverage.
There will be a bit of learning for him at the next level because of the type of Defense he played in at USC. However, most players will go through some type of adjustment. His fundamentals are solid though, so he should not take long to make an impact.
If I didn't know better, I'd say you were from Tampa Bay or New England and was hoping he'd slide down to your slot.
