Not stating that Mullen didn't have some holes-the WR issues in 17 and 18 were of his doing (you could also counter by saying that 2 of the starters on this team are Mullen signees). He also was woefully short on OL numbers and JM did a really good job of addressing that in his first two classes. I've seen a lot of people heaping blame at Mullen for everything that goes wrong and it's bullshit placation, but those two groups having holes were problems he created, but have since been remedied. Now, the DT and RB issues aren't his if you dig into the history of it. Moorhead has had ample time and opportunity to make things right there and he hasn't been able to even though, it looks like we'll be ok at RB this year depth wise, next year however, could be an issue.
We're agreeing on this. But you don't want to get to a point where you have to sign seven offensive linemen because that takes away spots from another group which creates another hole.

I'm sorry though- Dan deserves the blame for the holes in our roster at this point. 1-2 years from now? No. I think running back is something that could be addressed later if the staff feels like Kylin will leave. My guess is they want to have a strong educated guess before they make a move.
