Our unofficial insider, SmootSmack, has said quite a few times Oher is a top target. But i think you're right anybody they bring in for a private showing is probably a good candidate... i believe Rey is also on that list but they're waiting for him to get healed up.
...it's frustrating how there's so little footage of Matthews available on the net. I'm rating Cushing and Rey from their footage and honestly don't see any comparison. Cushing is often a step behind the ball-carrier and has to dive and drag him down to make the tackle. He also loses his feet too often at the pt of contact. Rey drives thru
everybody. He also looks faster than Cushing when the action is live... closing speed is more important than running in a straight line. But if the FO has footage to really compare Matthews I won't complain if we grab him as long as its a trade down scenario. What I don't want to see is a trade-down scenario where we grab a DE who hasn't covered TEs/WRs and try to make him an OLB.
