Dude is literally an immovable object.
If Bengals stick much more to a gap scheme though, I could be ok with Jones.

Also, I'm leery of Musgrave. Injuries have plagued him, but he's never really been too productive in college.
I have him behind Mayer, Washington, and even Kincaid on my list of TEs that I want. Possibly even behind LaPorta.

Any player with that severe of scheme limiting traits is definitely not 1st round pick material.  In order to win championships, offenses must be capable of switching schemes to keep defensive coordinators honest.  Dawand Jones simply is too limited in what he can offer.  Meanwhile, a player like Darnell Wright has demonstrated the ability to perform in a variety of ways.  He's as effective firing straight off the ball as he is at getting second and even third level blocks downfield.  Athletic enough to keep his body in front of edge rushers, yet big and strong enough to handle the toughest of bull-rushers.

IF, the Bengals go OT at the end of the 1st round, I sincerely hope that it's Darnell Wright.
