What does that have to do with being a quality college player? Do all of Bama's players get drafted? You can be a good/great college player but not make it in the NFL.
Do you think having 4 players drafted on a list of 30 is sufficient line talent at a place like LSU? No first rd picks??
2nd
3rd rd
5th rd
7rd
That’s good to you? Or do you just hate O?

Where did I say we weren't talented. A roster has to be balanced. It does no good to load up on offensive and defensive talent at the skill positions if you don't have similar talent in the trenches or at QB.
There's no doubt that Greedy, White, Delpit are studs and folks like Lawrence are solid, damn fine players. Name me similar studs on the offensive line.
It's called roster management and Les let it get away from him. I'm disappointed that O hasn't been able to get it all corrected but he's working on it.

LSU had 8 players drafted in 2017, O's interim year. LSU had an additional 7 players drafted in 2018, O's second year.
Greedy and Devin White are probably top-15 picks.
I get what you're saying, but LSU has talent.
I would argue LSU has as much physical talent as any school besides Alabama, but the programs one-dimensional approach has stunted its progress and potential.

All the haters who predicted we’d have an awful season have either disappeared or developed amnesia. Unfortunately for them we will be even better next year.

How many OL & DL, and what round?

We've had more OL draftees since 2015 than Clemson. Maybe the OL can be schemed around?

1) zero points on Bama
2) 3rd in the SEC West
When do we get to compete for championships?

The most talented Mfer in the league can’t do much or as much when they are injured or banged up.

Nope. They've just moved the goalposts.
Since we didn't lose 5 or 6 games like they predicted (or worse), they're now saying that 3 losses isn't good enough.
Our 3 losses came against teams that won their respective bowl games in dominant fashion. One of those games was stolen from us by crappy officiating. We had it won three times until the fricking refs flagged and reviewed us to death. Even with that it took 7 damn overtimes to put us away.
Do I wish we had done better? Absolutely, but to act that this season was disappointing overall is just being childish. We had a pretty good year considering the injuries, off the field crap and limited talent/experience on offense.
We are trending up, and next season is going to be epic. Too bad some people refuse to acknowledge that.

3 all sec olinemen.
And why did you want miles fired if he didnt have talent?

OL:
Pocic -- 2017 -- 2nd round
Clapp -- 2018 -- 7th round
DL:
Godchaux -- 2017 -- 5th round
Key -- 2018 -- 3rd round
Now prove it's the players and not the coaches doing a poor job of developing them. Who was the DL coach, again...?

However, 3-loss seasons and the offense looking "like garbage at times" wasn't considered a great enough job to save Les. I don't believe it should be considered doing a great job now.
However in one of the games we lost we scored 70 plus points. We really only had 1 bad game. We do need to improve on offense. Coach O has done a good not great job. If he improves the OL and DL we can compete with anyone.

Offense struggled at times but it looked better than Les' offenses schematically. Les had better offensive line play and running backs though.

O did a great job and will improve further.
If Les is your man...the Jayhawks are looking for football fans!

Agreed.

Im not ready to say we are trending up since we got worse on offense and still werent competitive against bama and lost to 2 inferior teams.
The saving grace of this year was winning the fiesta.
No one should feel this season was horrible but we were 1 loss against a mid major from having 4 lossed again and having a worse offense.
Hopefully we have an amazing year next year. Dwhite returning will be the biggest impact to this team. Im sure O and Aranda are in his ear daily trying to get him to cement his legacy as lsu's best lb ever and returning for a chance at a sec title run.
IMO we are a legit OC away from being top 5 program again.

What a weird post. I'm an LSU fan, not a fan of whoever our coach is. Props to O for a good season and here's hoping we take another step forward next year. I don't see any reason to bring Les into the discussion.

Is that good?
Wasn’t the whole point of posting that list was to marvel at how many players were on it? What am I missing?
