Redskins Add WRs Pierre Garcon and Joshua Morgan

That's just prototypical tight ends who are 6'3, 6[4, 6'5, and 6'6 who weigh 240-260 pounds these days. Paul could possibly play TE. If he has the strength to block LBs and DEs, then his size shouldn't really matter.

It would be a nice move to place Paul @ TE in some situations to form mismatches.

I'd rather have a TE at 240-260 if he's going to block LBs or DEs instead of being at 220 lbs.

Yes, I understand that. What if Kyle Shanahan calls a play where the offense is running a stretch the play away from Paul who is lined up at TE? Let's say he's blocking an OLB on the play. On the very next play Paul is lined up at TE again and is able to beat the OLB deep on play action where there's no safety help whatsoever and ends up catching a 69 yard TD pass from RG3?

That would be a great play call that was used off a play action pass that running the ball set up. I'd rather see TEs who are 240-270 pounds also. But if Paul is used this way, it would make defenses respect Paul and make them accountable for him when he's lined up as a TE.

Niles Paul would be a Aaron Hernandez type TE. Short and fast. Although I do believe Paul is way faster with better blocking ability. Both 6'1 but Niles Paul only weights 225 and would have to gain about 20 more pounds to catch up with Hernandez.
