Look, I can appreciate having quality fatties on the roster and after watching that playoff game, it's obvious that our O-line and D-lines need more talent.
You have to have D-line that can penetrate and disrupt because in this day and age, it's more about pressures than sacks. It totally sucks but batting balls and getting in the face of the QB is more productive than sacking or tackling because you could be looking at a "roughing" call up to 50% of the time now. So in that regard, having Chris Jones( and hopefully one more like him )is a great advantage to this team.
That understood, what Hill brings to the team is almost unquantifiable because he has an unnatural ability to reel in some of the wilder passes that Mahomes will attempt when he's being chased down, or when the pocket is fading and he decides to let fly.
When you combine that with the speed, intelligence, and work ethic, it's a no-brainer.
