It's scary that we kind of need at least one star type year from a rookie pass rusher if we want to think about having a good year defensively.

Veach said it himself though. They weren’t going to be players in the first week.
Last year we had a need for an offensive line and the money to spend on it. And even then…Veach rebuilt it with two draft picks, a trade, a FA and an in house player.
The defense is a little harder but I don’t think he’s done. He just didn’t see anyone in FA in that first wave that he just had to have…and we didn’t have the money anyways.
