Yes Jefferson is a nice player and a solid receiver, and he's number one right now because he's out best option. No, he wouldn't be number one at Bama or Ole Miss becsuse they have better WRs than we do.

Landry: "yeah. They've had problems under 2 different regimes now developing young receiver talent
What is he talking about? We have had passing problems, overall offensive problems, but generally speaking out WRs have been pretty good.
NFL draft
2018 Chark second round, Gauge 6th
2017 Dupre 7th
2014 Beckham 1, Landry 2
2012 Randle 2
2010 LaFell 3

Sullivan is an old school guy who doesn't feel comfortable putting the freshmen out there full time
Who puts a lot of freshmen at WR fulltime? Some freshman start, but Most are back ups at best who play more as they mature and learn.
Look at Devonta Smith at Bama. He played in every one of their games. He caught 8 passes in 14 games. Jerry Jeudy caught 14 passes. These two are high end talents.
There are exceptions like Ridley and others, but generally speaking the young receivers do not make the impact until later in their careers. At least not in the SEC.
Look at Ja'Marr Chase. 7 catches already. Marshall has 5. Not a lot, but certainly on pace to go what Smith and Jeudy did last year.
Chris Landry has his opinions, but he's no more of an expert than a lot of guys on the net. He just has a platform and most do not. If he would be as good of a scout as he says he is, some NFL team would have hired him years ago.

Bama also had a go-to game breaker in Calvin Ridley. This LSU team doesn't have a guy like that. The "best" reciever (Jefferson) is more of a possession WR who occasionally makes some big plays similar to Gage last year. The other two top WR's (Anderson and Sullivan) are big targets and great matchups, but neither is a guy that necessarily worries defenses about huge plays.
Chase seemingly is a guy who COULD make big plays in space as well as on deeper routes (he has 7 catches and 3 should be TD). No one is saying he should be the No. 1 guy as a freshman, but why not design a few plays a game to get him the ball in space?
You can't teach raw athletic ability. If he has more of it than every other WR's then wouldn't you want to try to get a little bit out of it. Hell, just put him on the Giles routes to see if he could break the tackles Giles can't
