Totally agree.
Early on SM said part of his GM philosophy was to identify his type of players and sign them earlier and cheaper before they hit free agency.
The signing of Paul signals that SM likes what he sees on tape and sees potential.
Paul did a really good job blocking down field last season but struggled severely blocking off the line of scrimmage. As a converted wide receiver, he will improve in pass protection with more time.
All that being said, a true dual threat TE would be awesome. Jay's offense flourished with that type of package in Cincy.
