I know that most will laugh and say, "Madden is just a video game". That said, it's a pretty damn accurate video game. I've used Hurst, Sample, Wilcox ect... as my TE for the Bengals. They all could make the occasional good catch but were soon tackled.

I traded for Irv Smith in my recent Franchise mode. If he brings to the Bengals what he has brought to my Franchise team it will be a boon. Great hands, runs great routes, catches everything! Oh, and he has some wheels. The other TEs are slow a lumbering when compared to his speed. 

If he can stay healthy and bring this skill set to the Bengals, we're going to be some happy fans.  

When healthy, he is way faster and harder to tackle than those guys. Hurst was hard to tackle though, wouldn't want to try and tackle 
Hurst, you go low and then he just jumps over you too lol

Excited to trade for Irv Smith on Madden and get him on the team. Will do this later and see how he looks. He is different than every 
other TE we have had, he is FB size with speed, different type of player. Like I said, TE middle screen has always been a good play call
but could be a great one with Irv Smith Jr.

I highly doubt Irv affects our draft plans with his injury history. We should draft a top one in the first 3 rounds and if Irv Smith stays
healthy it is gravy. We only have Irv and Asiasi on the roster right now and Asiasi is so so at best.
