And we offset that by turning around and immediately cutting Mvs. Hell, a good enough WR allows you to cap what you’re willing to offer juju.
There is going to be an absurd amount of activity coming soon. Josh Allen, Herbert, burrow, hurts, Lamar are going to get huge contracts. The consequences of deals like Russell Wilson will hit. Teams like Tampa and Indy and Carolina will start wrecking ball their roster. Now, I’m willing to be patient if we need to be. But as a perfect example, there’s no way the bengals keep Boyd and Higgins and good chance they can’t keep either. Wouldnt you gladly scoop either of those guys up?

Absolutely. But a lot of other teams probably would too.
My only point is there are a number of ways to skin a cat. The end game is winning a Super Bowl - not having the most potent offense. We know Veach likes the idea of having an explosive offense or else he wouldn't have drafted a RB in the first round or looked at potential trade-ups for Ruggs and Williams. He understands the trade-offs and I think this team will probably continue to lean toward focusing on an explosive offense rather than having an above-average defense.
But I trust them to make those decisions given resource constraints. It's tough drafting late in the first round ever year when you're in needs of can't-miss differencemakers.
