Then cobble together the defense best you can.
Anyway, I was on your side then and still think it's right.

No, I don't think that was anybody's argument.
The argument was, and still is, that when you're paying your QB this much of your cap, you need to draft and develop your weapons. You can't afford to pay market price for them.
And that's still true, regardless of whether these particular players panned out or not.
The goal was always to give him good weapons.
Sustained success depends on drafting well and developing talent. These guys all shit the bed simultaneously, which is why I'm looking hard at Nagy and Embree because this just doesn't make any other sense.
