Thoughts on Fred Davis and Run Blocking

[The Goat]

I think Paulsen might be the best all-around TE on the roster at this point between Paul's inconsistency, Davis' poor blocking and Cooley's lead feet lol. Gridiron's idea to make Davis a WR might be a good solution as well. Davis was big for a tight end in college but most of the top TEs at the pro level are bigger e.g. Gronkowski and Graham are the best in pro and both are 6-6 or 6-7 and 265 lbs. Fred Davis and Vernon Davis shorter and lighter. SF seems to use Vernon Davis downfield way more than blocking, right?

Fred to WR...he'd be our only big/strong WR who can consistently break tackles.

Niles Paul is listed at 6-1 and 233 lbs btw...I just don't see how he's a good prospect for TE, particularly in this offense. That he couldn't hold a roster spot as a WR is pretty concerning given the WR corp lack of a bigger, stronger WR. Were his hands not enough to play WR, given the many drops he's had?
