It takes about 1 minute of research to tell how up in your feelings you are about this.
The current top 5 cap hits are 3 offense, 2 defense. If we stretch that out to the top 10, its 6 offense and 3 defense (Butker also being in the top 10).
Has the defense gotten all of the money recently? No.
draft picks in rounds 1-3 by year:
2023: 2 O 1 D
2022: 1 O 4 D
2021: 1 O 1 D
2020: 2 O 1 D
Has the defense gotten "all of the draft picks"? No.
People seem to be re-writing history on Juju. He was a veteran with his best years behind him who was coming off a year lost to injury, and was signed for peanuts. It was a classic Veach gamble in the same way Toney was a gamble I think.
Last year, the Chiefs gambled and won. This year, they gambled and lost. Veach has struck out and he has also hit homers, with 2 superbowls under his belt I would say his batting average has been fine. You can't have superstars everywhere on a roster without picking in the top 10 a few years in a row.
All of this, and I'm in complete agreement the Chiefs need some more talent on offense in the offseason, I just don't think its drastic and I don't think it was obvious before the season started that this offensive group would stumble.
