Well... too early to say that, espeically at WR.

I think the fanbase is so traumatized by how the season went after Angeli got injured that they forget how dominant of a trio JRS / Cook / Gill were before the injury.  They ran circles around the Clemson secondary, which has a pair of corners expected to be drafted highly this spring.

And that trio largely replaced the dominant group from the year before, with OG [I'll list him here at wideout, even though he was technically a Y-TE], Pena, and Meeks.

I think we retooled at WR.  And landing Outten is icing on the cake.  We had a group of players who were in secondary roles at wideout who flashed last year [Darien Williams, Tyshawn Russell, Darius Johnson] much like Gill had flashed as a member of the second unit the year before, so the returning cupboard isn't bare.

Then you add in Calvin Russell, one of the top five highest recruits in program history, Outten, Gough, and several transfers -- and we have a full THREE-deep of capable guys, IMO.

So yeah, maybe you're right about WR.  But we need to see it on the field first.

I'm thinking we'll be fine at TE with Smith coming in.  Important to keep in mind that Villari was leading the nation in receiving yardage for tight ends before Angeli got injured.

Not sure about RB.
