I think Niles Paul has some similarities to Miles Austin, who was undrafted. I like his size & YAC potential. The Hankerson pick was a home run, but the other pick that got my attention was Markus White. Watched a bit of him & I see him as a guy that could develop into a solid OLB. Has the athleticism to make the transition.
I like the RB picks if for no other reason they are great value & should be able to make the team. Don't care if we have a feature back, but will be nice if Royster develops as the between the tackles guy & Helu spells him for a change of pace. Or vice-versa w/Helu starting. That job is wide open at this point.

The funny thing about Hankerson is how similar his situation is to when the Redskins drafted Devin Thomas. Just like in 2008 the Rams were picking right before us and just like 2008 both the Skins and Rams needed a receiver. And just like 08 the Rams took the small school guy instead of the guy we wanted to pick. Of course this time around the Rams got a more reasonable prospect with Austin Pettis but it's funny the similarities. I just hope the end result is different and between Hankerson's attitude and Shanahan's coaching I feel like we're putting this young man in a position to succeed.
