The numbers the past 2 years show otherwise. Even last year he looked slow as molasses.

With our limited picks this year, we should pass on a WR pick. We have Aldrick Robinsion and Banks to duke it out for returner, with Austin and Paul also capable, but I think Niles is out of that role now.

Of course, that's all moot if Shanallenhan pulls off another wizardry job like last year and turns 5 picks into a dozen.

@Niles_Paul84: Thanks to all the Redskin fans that's are showing me love about the position change. At the end of the day, I just want to play ball #HTTR

All we're missing this year is a 2nd rounder, we have

1.2
3.6
4.7
4.14
5.6
6.3
7.6

Wow, 2 picks in 4th round. That's pretty darn good.

Carriker's tweet to Paul about his move to TE. Pretty funny:

@BigPoppaPump94: @Niles_Paul84 I believe ur explosive, but if ur gonna turn into a tight end u better get ur lift on, cause I'm coming 4 u little fella!

Paul likely blocks better than Davis and is perhaps more athletic.

It's kinda comical that some think as a result of the trade we have crippled our draft for years to come. We could still emerge with 2 starters and a 2 immediate contributors from this class. Also, don't rule out a trade down in the 3rd to pick up either another 3rd or a 2nd next year.

Back on point, Kyle's strength as an OC is finding mismatches and a hybrid weapon like Paul can open up some nice passing lanes for Griffin.

In 2010, Cooley had 77 catches and 849 yards, hardly a sign of decline. And Cooley had knee injury last year, which explains the great decline in his speed. I don't think Cooley is done yet, at least not this year. Now that Paul is becoming TE, if he plays well and Cooley doesn't this year then I could see the cut coming next season. But not this year.

It'd be nice if we could turn one of our 2nd-4th picks into a starter. The 3rd rounder has a good shot depending on what position we go (S or OL possibly). The 4ths maybe if we get a little lucky with our projections and evaluations. It's nice to have two shots in the 4th so close together to up our chances at finding some impact at a point in the draft where it is reasonable to think it is possible.

Also, according to a recent tweet by Niles Paul, he's currently at 234.

This.. kid is still young and has a frame to fill out

He was great blocking WR and pretty solid special teamer last year... this keeps him on the team in a role maybe better suited towards keeping him.

If we have a more mobile offense overall.. this is the type of TE you want.

I posted a link to WP about Niles Paul switching positions and why he's doing it, but looks like it may have gotten taken down for some dumb reason whatever it may be...?

[REDSKINS4ever]

Niles Paul didn't figure that much into the passing game in his rookie season. He only caught 2 passes the whole season. While an excellent hitter on special teams, playing TE could be his true calling. Paul could very well thrive as a TE
