re: Should LSU even recruit slot receivers as a "need"?

Pretty much this. Hence the disagreement over which guys are and which guys are not "slot receivers."

In college, the receiver positions are determined, in part, by the physical needs of the position but also, in part, by the personnel the teams have.

For example, most people would probably call Jordan Shipley a true slot receiver. However, because Texas lacked experienced receivers this year, he played on the edge a lot.

In the NFL, you typically get assigned more of a permanent position. Wes Welker is probably the most iconic slot receiver in the NFL right now.
