Not really.
If Hill's not a Chief, you're gonna have to go to the drawing board and win a completely different way. The 2018 Chiefs offense as we knew it, the high-flying, 50 TD, 5,000 Yard, big play waiting to happen offense will be dead.
You're gonna have to learn to play a more conventional and sadly, conservative style. You're gonna have to try to play more complementary football.
You can use a 3rd rounder on a replacement X prospect and hope Watkins can give you some solid production at the Z when he's healthy (with Robinson likely your X for most of the year anyway), but that's just a standard deviation removed from where we were.
You're gonna need the first 3 picks to figure out how best to effectuate your plan B. Be that beefing up your OL to buy more time for diminished weapons to get open or a TE to play more 12 personnel. Or DL/Secondary to lean more heavily on your defense. Plan B gets the majority of your draft capital at that point, not attempting to salvage Plan A. Plan A is at the bottom of the North Atlantic and it ain't coming back...
It would suuuuuuuck.
