Bengals sign three rookies: The Dayton Daily News reports the Bengals have reportedly agreed to terms on four-year contracts with three rookie draft picks — fifth-round DT Jason Shirley (Fresno State), sixth-round TE Matt Sherry (Villanova) and seventh-round WR Mario Urrutia (Louisville). The 6-foot-5, 338-pound Shirley is a dominant physical specimen, but a high-risk player because of off-the-field problems. Shirley went on trial for DUI in June, but the judge declared a mistrial in the case. Shirley is due to be tried again next month. Sherry (6-4, 255) is a fast-developing receiver with soft hands, and is working hard to improve his blocking. Urrutia (6-5, 232) is a big target with good speed and hands. He'll have an opportunity to be a factor in the red zone because he has the size to overpower smaller defensive backs. (Updated 07/15/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Shirley has minimal Fantasy value and should not be drafted in IDP leagues. Sherry will likely be the No. 3 TE if he makes the team and will spend most of his time on special teams. And Urrutia has plenty of people to overcome on the depth chart to see the field. Ignore all three players in seasonal drafts in 2008. (Updated 07/15/2008).
