Not being on the hook for $28-$30 mill for Hill...Chiefs are set to be players in FA again. If a WR isnt there at 50...it's not as dire as it once was. They can go BPA and continue to shave off salary to be used elsewhere...
They still have 3 picks in what BV referred to as the "sweet spot" in this draft.....they could double down on CB/DE or take a safety. I would take the more expensive positions if they have the players rated equal...
Chiefs just scored two important positions...and their OL is relatively cheap for 3 more years. This is the model for sustained success in the NFL..

so draft players..and trade them in their prime when they want to get paid.. and repeat?
this plus getting big name veterans is a model for success in the NFL..
last 3 superbowl winners including the Chiefs won because of huge veteran signings not meaningless end of round 1 picks..
