This is where I'm at too.

I want to believe Gesicki will be the best receiving TE the Bengals have had with Burrow.
But after not even hitting 400 yards each of the past two years, I am worried he'll be more like a Uzomah (who was solid but not higher).
Tanner Hudson was my guy last year, but he'll have competition with both All and McLachlan added.
He'll be competing for that TE3 spot, as Gesicki and Sample are locks for the roster, IMO.
All has been plagued so much by injury in his college career, it's tampering my excitement for him. But if you look at his last year's stats, he performed like a good Iowa TE, putting up 299 yards at 14.2 YPR and 3 TDs across just 7 games.
I'm hoping All will turn into at least a Noah Fant caliber guy, someone who can consistently put up 400-600 yards a season, but the injuries need to stay away for him.
McLachlan has potential too as a sleeper. He was a strong receiver in college and might end up snagging that last TE spot, especially if All starts the season on PUP/IR.

But since there are so many unknowns for the rookies and the veterans are who they are at this point, I can't predict higher without homer feelings.
