I think the entire board has seen that Veach is aggressive in attacking holes in the roster; sometimes to the point of overaggressive. And that the team he took over had a dynamic offensive but aging (and awful) defense. So of course he's prioritized additions to the defense over the last several years.
In so doing he's STILL traded a 1st round pick for an OT, used a 1st round pick on a RB and used a couple 2nd round picks on WRs and traded another 3rd rounder for a former first rounder. He's also given out massive contracts for an OT and LG. Not to mention trading the 2018 1st rounder in the 2017 deal to get the baddest mother****er on the planet.
He's GOING to address the offense aggressively this off-season. I think he felt that there was another year left before he had to do so. Had we not seen simultaneous regression across the board in the WR group, I think he'd have been right.
But he's absolutely going to continue to turn the knob towards the offense. He (maybe) miscalculated on how much runway he had left with the present weapons until he had to do so. And he likely did so based on how the well the offense operated last year.
I think a lot of this is just really self-evident.

Yeah I have lots of faith that veach will prioritize it and is elite at fixing it. This is more to address concerns that turning that knob to offense means we’re gonna give up 30 points per game. There’s a lot of room in between and the better our offense gets, the less we need them to be the elite kind of defense we have right now. If we all truly want balance that should be reasonable
