I’m not sure how much of an upgrade he would be over hurst, given the way bengals Use TE.  

Just my $.02.

You're asking the wrong question. It isn't how much of an upgrade over Hurst he would be. It is how much of an upgrade over Wilcox he would be.

Wilcox has played 30% of the offensive snaps this year. Not to mention I would rather have 2 TE out there than the 31% of the offensive snaps Mike Thomas is on the field for so far this season (it will be more with Chase out).

Heck, last week here's some % snap counts on offense...
Wilcox: 28%
Thomas: 45%
Irwin: 43%
Taylor: 13%
Morgan: 4%

So asking how much of an upgrade he would have been over Hurst is the wrong question.
