Irv Smith a Bengal

I tend to agree with you, that I would stay away from OT unless Wright falls that far, or the Bengals package picks to move up.

There are a couple. Daniel Jeremiah and Reuter at NFL com both have us taking Wright. 

I looked at 17 posted in the last 10 days. 

8 have us taking TEs. 3 Mayer (Davis, NFL.com; Wilson CBS Sports; Edwards, CBS Sports). 3 Kincaid (Hanlon, Sports Illustrated; Prisco, CBS Sports; Brooks, NFL.com). 2 Washington (Kiper, ESPN; Garrett, Pro Football Network). 

4 have us taking OTs. 2 Wright (Jeremiah & Reuter at NFL.com). 2 D. Jones (Reid, ESPN; McDonald, Yahoo!). 

2 have us taking CB Forbes (Tannebaum, ESPN; 33rd Team). 

1 has us taking Kancey (Kruse, Touchdownwire). 

1 has DE Murphy falling to us at 28 (bloody unlikely) (Trapasso, CBS Sports). 

And one idiotic one has us taking WR Josh Downs with JSN available (Brinson, CBS).

But none of these guys have much real Bengals info. They see the hole at TE and Jonah's trade request.
