You are stating he only catches passes coming off of blocks but also acknowledge him being a seam threat...so which is it. Can you explain to me how it is that someone can know that in the Bengals offense that he is only going to catch 2-3 passes a game coming off of blocks? I find these silly notions sorry.
However, we can laud a guy like Musgrave that is a very average blocker, something a TE for Cincinnati must do, and who has demonstrated a very average catch radius. Then there is the fact that there combine testing shows nearly identical results for the events both competed in with Washington actually demonstrating his feet in the 20 yard shuttle while Musgrave did not.
What is even more hysterical is we are talking number of catches a game yet Washington in three seasons caught 45 balls for 774 yards while Musgrave in four seasons (senior season only 2 games because of a major knee injury...should we factor this as well) caught 47 balls for 633 yards. Oh yeah and then there was that major knee injury he is coming off of.
A questioned posed earlier is Washington a guy you throw a quick out to on 3rd and long and expect to create? Well you tell me by watching at :20. At 1:18 do you believe that Musgrave has demonstrated the catch radius to catch this pass? At 1:21 oh yeah that quick out and creating again. Oh yeah 2:59 that quick out yet again and creating for a first down. At 3:31 can you tell me you believe Musgrave is going to do this? Oh Hey 3:55 there is that quick out again and creating yet once again for a long first down.
I guess I am confused when I watch the agility of this man after the catch why people would believe he is incapable of running other routes? I then ask when I watch this highlight tape what else you would really want to see from that demonstrates the dominant strengths this man brings to the offense of a football team?

There is no way in hell i draft Musgrave in the 1st Round either. But he has shown he can WIN running routes. Some people dont kknow what that means apparently.... There are a million running backs with much greater agility that CANNOT run routes.
Washington is slipping off blocks to catch passes and running straight lines. I remember when I used to get all worked up over players running around real fast and strong in shorts at the combine.. the guy just doesn't have the production... 40 catches in his college career? And Im not saying I dont like him and wouldnt want him to be on the team, just that a 1st round pick is high with his lack of production.
This is my favorite part of your strange comments: "I really like the assumptions that can be made as fact. " I stated a fact, he has never shown a route tree and YOU ARE THRE ONE ASSUMING HE WILL BE TONY GONZALES based on.... the combine? His majority of catches that were late releases?
You are making all the assumptions. And yes 2-3 receptions per game is about the average for our offense... You know just enough to have a conversation about things but then you step out with something that is just totally wrong....
I would probably be willing to bet that no team takes him in the 1st Round.... you want to take a wager?
