I'm not sure what you are trying to defend or rationalize. It's clear that A&M is taking talent. There's nothing wrong with that. LSU has done this many times, especially with DBs. Bama takes OLs like they are going out of style. Sometimes, you take the best guys on your board regardless of the position they play. In the end, however, it does somewhat inflate the perceived value of the class.

The argument we're disputing is this one, made by other LSU posters:

It also isn't a hard concept that you can't just recruit WRs well and be consistently successful. Thats the point (I hope) he was making

Over the last three years, we've recruited 15 players for essentially 4.5 positions (4 WR and 1 TE). Considering that 4 of those guys are already gone, and our offense is so pass-heavy, how is it even remotely odd that we now have 1 WR and 1 TE in the current class?

In fact, we're probably going to add another 3 WR to the haul before we're done. And that will be entirely reasonable.

And if the point was that we are ONLY recruiting well at WR.... well, Myles Garrett and Daylon Mack say "Hi"
