Anyway, I brought other teams TEs into the discussion to see just how Paulsen measures up to them. And the fact of the matter is that he just doesn't. If Paulsen develops into a 65-80 catch/1,040 yard/5-7 TDs a year type of TE I will be greatly surprised because he matter-of-factly isn't that type of threat on offense as those other tight ends that I brought up.

Why would he, since he's the #2 TE, and we already have a #1 TE that has the potential to be that good?
