00:00Okay, with the time remaining, Joe, I'm going to make you work.

00:06I'm sorry.

00:07I got to do it.

00:08Convince me.

00:09Why should I be interested in any way in Tampa's offensive ecosystem?

00:14Well, look, Baker Mayfield is still a number one overall pick, and it's taken Baker a long

00:19time to kind of mature and find his sea legs, and Dave Canales helped him do that last year.

00:24I have more faith in Baker Mayfield without Dave Canales carrying that torch than I did

00:29with Gino Smith when Canales left Seattle for Tampa two years ago.

00:33That being said, Baker Mayfield is still going to want to throw the football.

00:37Chris Godwin has had his host of injuries over his career, still a good wide receiver,

00:41but a little injury plagued.

00:44Mike Evans, 10 years in the league now.

00:46That's another guy who's been fantastically consistent.

00:49But all of a sudden, Jalen McMillan has emerged in camp as the third target in this offense,

00:53and I think that's noteworthy because if there is an injury to one of the two guys ahead

00:58of him, McMillan's target share goes up.

01:00At the very least right now, he's a nice, maybe bi-week wide receiver to have or a matchup

01:06play potentially.

01:07Let's see how the kid plays out.

01:08But if you're looking for a guy who could potentially grow over time into a role with

01:12a team and be more useful in the second half of the season, I think Jalen McMillan could

01:17be that guy, whether injury strikes or not.

01:19When we come back, it's not all about sleepers.

01:22Some guys, well, some guys are set up for failure, not success, and it's not their fault.

01:27It's their ADP.
