He realized it was getting stale, and teams had figured out how to slow down the offense. I think it’s gonna be a completely different look offense this season. Not just players, but philosophy as well.

I won't disagree with the bulk of that.. but, they didn't move Hill because the offense was getting stale. On the contrary, I don't think the offense was getting stale. Their offensive points ranking was the 2nd best it's been in the last 4 years, the problems were those defensive ranks quite honestly, 2nd worst in yards given up in those 4 years.
Reid has definitely proven himself to be creative, but depending on what they do in the draft... the impact of not having Hill is going to be huge, especially in the first half of the season. Chiefs need more from the ground game, yes Mahomes is inhuman, but it wouldn't hurt to have more on the ground. CEH is a R1 bust at this point. Not saying he can't be dominant, he's only entering Y3, but he certainly hasn't played to the draft selection expectations. More pressure on the ground game without Hill. Kelce is the key, has been for a while and at 33, when does he start to hit the wall - dude has been very healthy, so that's good for KC.
