Not if you are trying to compare yourself to the Ohio States, Clemsons, Alabamas of the college football world. From everything Franklin says, his target is to have Penn State in that "elite" group. Remember the quote "we are a great program... but we are not yet elite... those guys we played tonite are elite". It rankled some feelings, but he was absolutely correct. Dotson is a "nice" WR. But he is not a #1 at those elite programs. He's barely a #2 or #3 at those other programs. Heck, at Bama he'd be no better than their #4 WR. (Davonta Smith, Waddle, Metchie would be 1-2-3).
I am not knocking our program. I am just saying that when you look at our depth chart, IMO the WR group sticks out like a sore thumb. I believe we have become "elite" in many areas. Before the Journey Brown news we were "elite" at RB. We are "elite at TE. We are "elite" once again at LB. And I believe we are "elite" at DE. And I also believe our depth at OL is becoming top tier..... Franklin has transformed the roster and made it "elite" in many areas. But no way on Earth anyone can OBJECTIVELY look at our WR depth chart, compare it to those true "elite" programs and say we are right there with them.
