FSU Football: Improved or not, how will Nole units compare to 2017?

Receivers Are Neutral Compared 2017
Man, if I were judging this solely on talent and potential this would be an improved unit. However, this is arguably the most shallow unit on the field with only two somewhat proven players in Nyqwan Murray and Keith Gavin.
The latter has never scored a touchdown in college and had 28 receptions a year ago. FSU also lost tight end Ryan Izzo who had a three years of starting experience. Tre McKitty is likely an upgrade talent wise, but does he have all the blocking assignments down yet? Can Pops Upshur make his presence felt?
This is arguably the most talented receiver unit we’ve seen in Tallahassee in the last decade.
There’s a great mixture of size, speed and sheer physicality which should bode well for the run game.
Nyqwan Murray should have a big year and big things are expected from Tamorrion Terry outside and D.J. Matthews in the slot. Will George Campbell finally kick the injury bug?
This unit is deeper than last season, but that depth mainly consists of inexperienced true freshmen that just got on campus. So right now I have to say this unit is neutral compared to last season until their production matches potential.
