I think it's much easier for a defensive player to become integrated and contribute because, while there is a degree of a learning curve, it's nothing like what exists on the offensive side. Defense is primarily about recognition and reaction, and players on the line, in particular, can have immediate impact.

Branch is a beast. Although I'm biased, Michigan fan and all.

And while we do need to think about the future (and present) of the WR position, the success or failure of the offense ultimately boils down to pass protection and run blocking. If the choice is a franchise left tackle or a franchise WR, we need the tackle way, way, way, way, way, way more. Good lines turn units with average players into top-5 units (we've seen it here...). Bad lines kill offenses, turn star players into has-been's or never-were's and average players into sucking vacuum.
