An elite defensive end is far more disruptive than a linebacker. And we will probably take enough linebackers this year so it wont be a need next signing class.

As we learned from the 2012 recruiting class, you can never have too many linebackers.
That year we signed:
Kwon Alexander
Lorenzo Phillips
Ronnie Feist
Lamar Louis
Deion "Debo" Jones
Trey Granier
And look what happened...Phillips and Granier transferred, Alexander left his junior year, and Feist has never proven to be as productive as originally projected.
Considering that Steele plans on implementing some four-linebacker personnel groupings, it would be wise to not only sign at least five linebackers this year, but they should still sign several more in 2017.

The state is absolutely stacked with interior lineman. Given that Orgeron prefers larger defensive ends (275-295), it's more than likely that they might try and slide one of the more athletic pass rushers outside.
Moses Jr. would still have to put on another 35-40 pounds and a couple of inches in order to fill that "elite defensive end" frame.
LSU has had its fair share of All-American defensive linemen, but only a handful of top-level linebackers; but when we have had such linebackers, our defense becomes truly special.
