He just doesn't seem like he will be one of those elite receiving TEs, which is ok for this offense.
He kinda reminds me of a Gerald Everett type.
He has put up solid receiving numbers but not top-tier.

I'd like to see All get more and more reps and start reducing Gesicki/Sample some to see how he may blossom.

I could see the Bengals being comfortable (right or wrong) going into next season with All as TE1 and Sample as TE2.
They could draft another TE on Day 3 to be TE3/4 to go along with McLachlan.

Gimme Tyler Warren from Penn St in the draft though if he's available in the middle rounds.
That dude might be playing his way into the 2nd round though when all is said and done.
He's getting 12+ YPR every season he's played in college, and he's already at 513 yards and 4 TDs this season. He could end up hitting 750+ by season's end. Plus, he's perfect TE size at 6'6", 250 lbs.

It's still early to judge Erick All as a receiver because his route tree has been pretty much hooks/curls and flat routes with one corner route. Very soon maybe tommorrow I expect those Flat routes All has been running to turn into a Wheel. I expect all those quick underneath hook routes to become stick & nod/straight seams or Corner routes. Although I don't know if they will work him into Mike Gesicki role this year (receiver alignments and more option routes).
