If you think about it, they already get to add 3 pieces back to the offense they didn't have last year in Burrow, Jonah, and AJ. (3 major additions)
I think that offense will be just fine as is going into the season (at least for this year).
They can afford to not have a lot of draft picks going their way with the weapons they'll have in AJ, Boyd, Ross, Tate and Mixon.

But the defense, on the other hand, needed and still needs a lot of work for now and the future. There wasn't a lot of youth on it, and the veterans weren't playing well at all. It needed a major overhaul in order to compete in this league.

I still think the draft will go mostly Defenses way after Burrow is taken. So, we'll just have to see I guess.

After FA, they have way more needs on the offensive side of the ball.  Hinging the success of your offense on AJ Green and John Ross staying healthy is a fool's errand and both are in contract years.  Joe Mixon may potentially hold out and is also in a contract year, so unless you're ponying up big money for an extension, you need a RB.  Eifert is gone, so you need TE depth.  Of course, the OL also needs work.  

From a business sense, they can't just punt on offense to focus on the defense because they need Burrow to look like a stud to move tickets.

At this point, the D could use a starter at LB and depth at S and Edge, which they're currently looking at adding in FA.
