I think it's important to note that the coaches used Custis somewhat differently from AET and Ish.  Those guys caught a lot more short and intermediate patterns where they were looking for YAC.  They must have been targeted twice as much a game as Custis.  Custis, and you can tell just by his yards per catch, was more a deep pass threat.  Teams will factor that into their decisions, as well as Dungey's own throwing inconsistencies, when it comes to the draft.

Like I said in the initial post, if he puts up the kind of numbers we expect him to in a combine environment, some teams will project him much higher than we think.  The color guy in the BC game spent 5 minutes just raving about the size of his hands. His ST work then becomes an added bonus reducing the risk of the pick while they work on his development.

There's always a bit of slave auction mentality when it comes to the draft.  Teams get seduced by physical numbers.  Sometimes it pays off and sometimes it doesn't.
