| 0:00.0 | How do you feel about the Tampa Bay Bucks wide receivers? That's a tough question on draft day. |
| 0:08.0 | Let's talk about Chris Goblin right now with Jacob Gibbs. |
| 0:11.0 | Jacob is a writer for Sportsline.com. He's got an article about the players that are on his do not draft list. |
| 0:16.0 | We talked about J.K. Dobbins yesterday. Today we look at Chris Godwin, who is a round four pick, |
| 0:21.4 | average draft position, very similar to Mike Evans, Antonio Brown much later in the draft about 100th overall. |
| 0:27.1 | So I know you like Chris Godwin as the player. I know you're worried about the situation. |

| 1:19.0 | And he was really, really productive on those. |
| 1:20.8 | But that rate fell all the way down to 15% in his first season with Brady under center. |
| 1:26.0 | He was used a lot more on short routes. |
| 1:28.4 | But he needs those routes. Those are his bread and butter routes. He had a 30% target per |
