“Video: Bucs receivers coach Kevin Garver talks about Chris Godwin and how he could be involved in the slot as well as outside this season. https://t.co/vyiFac3Gxu”

so what is wrong with Godwin

Mahomes threw 580 passes last year so let's use that. Jameis completes 61.6% for his career = 357 completions. Mike Evans had 22.4% target share last year so Godwin will almost surely be below ~80 catches (which was about where Evans was last year). 80 would put him T-21st last year

So if he's going to be below 21st in volume most likely.... we're drafting him at A) his ceiling or B) hoping for extreme efficiency or C) hoping for random TD luck

I shouldn't have to do this math for you

but last year he finished rank 27 and now 2 of the main weapons on the offense are gone and the system this year will be better than last year so how will he be less efficient or not have way more targets

or is that only worth 5 spots

When a WR goes down, targets don't just re-allocate in the same distribution to the next guy up.

there are less weapons now so he will be more involved

is that not true

You're oversimplifying it.

Same reason Tyler Boyd isn't a WR1 when AJ Green gets hurt applies here. Or Sterling Shepard when OBJ was hurt.

You can't just fill the void with the next man up.

Evans isn’t hurt

Not referring to Evans. Referring to ASH+DJ leaving.

brown and juju were both top 10 last year there can be 2 heavily involved receivers on the same offense

Sure, when the QB throws a record number of passes and there is no WR3 and hardly a TE of consequence.

the slot role is very important in a Bruce arians system

You can't possibly think that's a relevant point with the Steelers lol

Lol with the coach analysis. He had Larry Fitz... of course the "slot role" is very important when it's one of the best of all time.

"Tom Brady loves throwing to his TEs" .... yeah when he has Gronk

The best coaches (Arians included) design the system to fit the players.... they don't hammer square pegs into their system's round holes.

and Godwin doesn’t fit the system?

I agree with most of your points but at the end of the day Godwin has a lot of room for improvement based on last year and wrs that breakout usually do it in their 2nd season after showing flashes of being good as a rookie which Godwin did
