Maybe Cushing has peaked. In that way, he reminds of former 1st round LBs Chad Greenway and Bobby Carpenter. But, how many 5th year Seniors are drafted on potential? There's nothing Matthews has done on the field that would warrant a 1st round pick.

I don't disagree with your reasoning, but the Combine and Pro Days have a ton of influence, whether you think it's valid or not.
