I expected Mathews due to the speed & coverage differences, but this guy is a typical SAM in that he stops the run well. He isn't a total liability in coverage, but not Mathews. It just depends on what the priorities are at the pick. I do like the pick.

He wraps the guy up and brings him down. That's something this team is in deperate need of. I'm currently not a big fan of his, but I think it's mostly due to how cocky he comes across. However, that's something this team is sorely missing as well and it may end up being one of his best traits. I'm ready for this D' to have some attitude and bad intentions.

Gee, my top guy Everette Brown lasted until almost our 2nd round pick, so maybe I was way off base.
Behind EB was Jeremy Maclin, which I could understand the team not going with because of need. So, I don't really want to hear anything about BPA. I'd imagine Maclin is the ROY in Philly. If we were wanting a LB, Matthews made more sense to me because he can play all 3 downs. Lastly, I would have been fine with Ziggy Hood. That all being said, I hope the Cushing improves our run defense. I think he's more athletic than Diles and because of his size, he should be able clean up behind a penetrating DLine. He's got very good measurables with and "Explosion" of 75 and my Athlete Index of 5.96 - so I am happy with that. At the Senior Bowl practice I saw him "thud" Rashad Jennings, who is not small, and totally knocked him off his feet. So, while Cushing wasn't one of "my guys" I am hopeful that he'll bring something to this defense.

I really like this pick too. He should solidify the run defense and put some pressure on QB's. Frank Bush should be ecstatic. Something about Matthews just scared the hell out of me, some was the B. Carpenter thing and some was his severe lack of playing time up until his senior year.
There was a sophmore OLB starting the first four games last year ahead of him ,IIRC.

I hope Cushing is the thunder to DeMeco's lightning.
