You don't draft RBs without a good OL. Duh.

We have good linemen, but not one absolutely dominating one...on either side of the ball! Period! But Coach O can turn that around this year, hopefully!

Count the linemen on both sides of the ball.

This is one of the key issues.. LSUs recruiting at QB, LB and in the trenches has not been at a high standard.

Maybe they are under utilized or under coached while at LSU but once they make an NFL roster their true talent is utilized
. I won't argue with that either especially on the offensive side of the ball

i've been saying the same thing...bama recruits by needs of position...this is why they're able to reload every year. LSU lacks depth in critical positions yearly and it falls squarely on Miles

even our recruiting rankings no where near as high a people tend to believe. We don't finish in the top 5 every year or very often for that matter.

our Rivals recruiting class rankings:
2015 8
2014 2
2013 6
2012 18
2011 6
2010 6
2009 2
2008 11
2007 4
2006 7
2005 22

This is one of the best comments I've read concerning LSU recruiting. We always score lots of recruiting points but don't always address needs. We get top loaded with O lineman and d backs. Our d line is depleted and we have no linebackers ready to step in. Defense will be a disaster if Beckwith leaves. I like Gary Patterson recruiting pattern. He recruits athletes and makes them fit into his system. He hasn't had a top 25 recruiting class ever and is always competitive. Just saying, maybe we need to rethink somethings.
Again, great comments

It's great but it's in the wrong positions, so what if we are ranked with a top 5 class each year if it's mostly top rated DB's and WR's that inflate the ranking. Just looking at Bama's class this year is a clear indication of what's wrong, they have tons of OL, DT, and LB's that make up their top recruits....which is our problem when we lose, yet we are ranked higher than them in recruiting. I say that to mention that the fans saying Les's team is equal in talent to Saban's are wrong, having 6 great DB's and 6 great WR's and 4 great RB's doesn't help you win games when you elude to how much talent we have.

Chief and Brick let us down @ DL and LB...it's not complicated! As much as I despise Shorty, he is damn good at evaluating tough dominating Dlinemen...

How come LSU leads for the most players on NFL rosters?

They go to LSU for TV exposure, not an education. Leave early to get the $$$.
