If Sleepy Davis can become a good blocker, I think Davis can get there with a little extra work and willingness.

Having Paul back will be nice. But he is also a liability in the run game as well. He's just not a natural TE and often can not handle NFL LB's in the run game. He's more of an H back. Off the top of my head Paul should be Reed's backup and a standout on teams.

When we run 2 TE sets, it should be Reed as the H back, and a drafted pure TE playing the Y position.

^^ That's kind of what I am thinking. From that formation, they will almost never face eight in the box, but, even so, the play action has to be respected. If they don't adjust, it is a perfect offense for KC's passing style, if they do adjust, then we should be able to run over them.

Blocking is first and foremost about maintaining balance with your footwork and staying in position to maintain leverage. He's definitely athletic enough to do it, I think Matty's right it's a matter of coaching.

Niles worked on it, converting from WR to TE and has it down decently. Reed can too.
