It's not so much that they're more impactful players. It's that we can find substitutes at WR who might give us 2/3 of the his production while at DE those substitutes only replicate 1/2 of the production.
Our DL was the highest paid in the NFL last year and one of the absolute worst. Veach tagged it as the main issue to address this offseason and the only thing we've done is resign the guy all of us were convinced would be off the team. The team would benefit hugely from a year one impact player at that position and unfortunately it's harder to find those guys beyond 20 in the first round.
That's just not the case with WR as we've seen time and time again. Not to mention the fact that Mahomes should all else equal be able to elevate the production of any individual WR while the current personnel on our DL probably do the exact opposite for any individual DE.
