I'm not saying they are going to contend for the West...I'm just saying that when you add these factors, it makes them dangerous and difficult to put them at the bottom of the pack 1. Awesome OL 2. Sumlin offensive mind 3. Skill players out the arse + The fact that their D can't possibly be worse.
I've noticed that theories start to take hold and gain momentum when it comes to football...and when this happens in the off season, they are almost always way wrong. At the end of last season, few that actually broke down TAMU thought they would suck. Drop off, yes...but suck...no, that is an idea that has taken hold over the last few months. You see this happen with draft picks a lot...those that shoot up the boards with nothing related to actual football, almost always bust. Likewise, I think sanity has left the building on TAMU, and when the rubber meets the road on the football field, they will be dangerous

It will absolutely be worse, they lost their best playmaker on defense in Claiborne, and their defensive MVP Stansbury just left the team. They are down to one good player on defense in Everett. They are extremely soft in the front seven and they will be terrible against the run.
Their defense was ranked 109th last year, I expect it to be a few spots worse this year and they will fire Snyder the defensive coordinator.

Not sure why you think this.
They have already lost 3 projected starters on their defense in the front 7 this offseason.
Pretty much most of their talent is completely inexperienced freshmen and redshirt freshmen. Their upper classmen are almost all marginal players at best teams like LSU/Bama had as plan C or D.
Their best hope is just to get as many freshmen on the field this year to build for the future...assuming those guys don't get kicked off the team too.
