Veach has already stated (could be GM speak) that they won’t be running out early for a WR given Hill, Hardman, and Pringle. And that any moves they do complete, could impact other deals/current deals. He’ll be smart about it.
To your overall question...My guess is Veach/Reid will make a splash...maybe two...in free agency, and trust that players like Hardman, Pringle, Allegretti, Wylie (RFA) Gay, etc. take the next step in their development.

No, what Veach said was that we aren’t going to go out and sign a WR immediately in free agency (like we did with Watkins) because we don’t have the money to do that.
This was unsolicited, so if anything, I found it interesting that he specifically mentioned a WR. They aren’t going to go out and get a big fish there, but that kind of makes me think they want to get a guy in that tier 2/3 area which goes with what guys like Nate Taylor have said.
And if the PC is what you’re basing all of this on, he even said something about adding a WR in the draft.
They are adding a WR one way or the other, and they will probably do both.
The point is backup TE has no impact on them adding a WR.
