Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Green Bay acquired this pick in a trade with New England. ... According to his
NFL.com scouting report, the 240-pound Matthews opened the 2008 campaign as a reserve, but took over right defensive end duties for the final 10 contests. He ranked fourth on the team with 56 tackles (28 solos), blocked another kick and had 4.5 sacks to go with nine stops for losses and should be a good fit -- assuming he plays off the line of scrimmage -- in Green Bay's new 3-4 scheme.
