Bengals considered taking Erick All in Round 3

The Cincinnati Bengals had a strong draft, and in win-now mode, they should feel that they improved upon a few weaknesses, mainly on the defensive line.

Adding a key offensive lineman in the first round may also help keep superstar quarterback Joe Burrow upright this season. The Bengals added a slew of players, one of which was Iowa tight end Erick All.

All is 6-foot-5 and played in high school at Fairfield, about 30 minutes north of downtown Cincinnati.

While he was taken with the 115th pick in the draft, All was considered far higher by the Bengals, although some thought that the fourth-round selection was a reach for the injury-prone tight end.
