While I am not sure there has ever been a more accomplished WR room than Evans, Godwin, Brown etc. I think this year's WR room could potentially have more yards.Â
Reggie Wayne, Marvin Harrison, and I think his name was Brandon Stokely had the most productive year with Manning and the Colts and I am not sure that can be duplicated but, when you know with near certainty that if healthy, Godwin and Egbuka will have north of 1000 yards each and you see that same potential in McMillan, add the sure hands of Tez and rookie Ted, this could be a very special group. Â
It's tough for the slot receiver to be the lead receiver for a team, happens about 15% of the time. But I think Godwin has slightly more yards than Egbuka, who has slightly more yards than McMillan.Â
Godwin - 1200 - 11
Egbuka - 1130 - 14
McMillan - 950 - 8
Tez/Ted - 820 - 6
Also, and I wish analysts would adopt this when making statements about WR rooms. The TEs and the RBs are not now, nor will they ever be part of the WR room. I am not sure why this often gets conflated when doing an analysis of WR rooms in the NFL.Â
At the Bucs elite level in 2024, with a top 5 offense, Baker had 4,500 passing yards
Your total adds up to 4,100 and doesn't include Cade Otton, Bucky Irving, misc other guys. Bucky and Otton combined for 800 yards last year
i guess with 39 TDs right there you are also assuming Baker returns to 2024 levels
so let me give you my assumption that Baker bounces back to being a top 10 QB and the guy we want to throw 4 years, $225M at.
4,200 yards, 36 TDs
Godwin - 700 yards, 5 TDs
Edbuka - 1,000 yards, 8 TDs
McMillian - 700 yards, 7 TDs
Tez - 300 yards, 3 TDs
Hurst - 400 yards, 5 TDs
Otton - 500 yards, 2 TDs
Bucky - 400 yards, 3 TDs
other - 200 yards, 3 TDs
