He's replacing a guy who wouldn't block and was good for 2-3 plays a game. Plus we have doctson who will move JC back to the slot.

He is discounting his size in the context of anything but a slot receiver. I think his point (and others on this thread) that his value drops exponentially in a different role are correct.
Moving him to an X or a Z would be akin to forcing Andre Carter to play out of position. Does it mean Andre Carter sucks? No. But he was night and day when used correctly. There are countless examples in Redskins history of us plugging in people in the incorrect spots, so lets not do that.
