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.

I'll see if I can dig out some of the comments, but my recollection was a) people clamouring for DL in the draft- not unfairly, it's been awful and b) lots of people commenting that HAD to be the move and a move for a WR would be terrible. I do remember a lot of the WR pushback being about not wanting to move up though, so that's a different argument, probably a fairer one. It was a difference of opinion on what draft capital is spent not on whether we should draft and develop or go down the FA route.
I do agree re Nagy and Embree, mainly because guys like MVS have looked worse and there's really no good reason for that.
