Veach really had no choice but to overpay for Hitchens. DJ was done and Dorsey had failed to bring in a replacement for him. In fact, Dorsey had let the defense go from the team strength to a huge weakness. Dorsey whiffed on Kev Russell in the 3rd and drafted a malcontent that had worn out his welcome at corner, Berry was done, Parker fell off a cliff, the whole defense fell apart under Dorsey. Veach rebuilt it in 2 years. Sometimes, you have to overpay to do it that quickly. So actually, he didn't inherit a built team. He inherited a built offense (which he also improved). He deserves our praise now.
