If you told me we were having these offensive problems last year, I would've 100% agreed with you. I thought we were going to be very average offensively last year, but we had the best offense in the league by almost every metric and really just swapped JuJu for Rice.
Is it really hard to see that Veach felt this was a reasonable plan?
Certainly it hasn't worked as intended, but I'm not sure why you're having difficulty seeing the logic of it.

With a bigger/better investment at WR in the past two offseasons, we’d have to also be content with getting worse somewhere else.
Picks hit. Picks miss. Volume is the answer to addressing almost any issues.
Look at our investment at LB and how much better that group is from 3 years ago. Same with the secondary. Same with the DL. Same with the OL. It’s fair to argue diminishing returns on those other positions, but at least we’ve nailed most of those. It’s not a total waste.
Unfortunately, we have a finite amount of picks and cap space. WR (and to a lesser extent RB) have suffered. It worked like a charm last year.
If the WR room is similar next year, I’ll be very concerned. I think we’re due for a sizable investment there in the offseason.
We just have to hope we can patch things together for another Super Bowl run.
If we can’t, I guess we’ll just have to find a way to be happy with winning 2 of the last 5 Super Bowls.
