I like Payne Durham as a blocker and a pure safety net, but he's not dynamic enough to be a true TE1. He's a pure TE2 in my eyes.
I don't see Irv Smith being here beyond this year, he's just a stopgap.
Bengals need a more long-term TE1, personal opinion.

I dunno how I feel about keeping Mixon, honestly.
It's not good if you're getting taken off the field in passing situations in favor of a RB who can pass block.
Him getting benched in favor of Perine at critical points in games last year really made up my mind.
I guess I have to accept if he stays on the team, but I really want someone else at this point.
