Think about it, whoever wins the super bowl typically has an above average defense. Patrick Mahomes will make our weapons look better than they are, therefore all we truly need is a game changer like hill. Let kelce go, take the patriot approach. We need a strong defense that can win us 3 and outs and let the mvp take the field and eat up clock and score touchdowns.
Andy Reid, we do not need to be the colts of Peyton Manning, all we need is Mahomes, hill (for now) and then an above average defense. We will stay competitive every year and actually have a chance at winning the super bowl year after year.

Ah, Tom Brady has always had a great TE until this year. He's also always had a good receiving RB. He's never needed elite WRs.
Also, we've already proven that the offense doesn't nearly as well with just Hill. The offense runs best with a good/great running and receiving RB, Kelce, Hill, and at least one other speed receiver. Doesn't have to be a 4.3 guy, but a bigger target with sub 4.5s speed.
And I think that the Patriots defense last year was ranked 20th or something like that. What has always made Patriots' defenses exceptional in the playoffs is their situational awareness. They might not always rack up the most impressive stats during the regular season (as they have this year), but they are always prepared for specific situations at critical moments in games. The pick by Butler against the Seahawks being the most obvious one that comes to mind right now.
They knew that Seattle liked that play down near the goal-line, and they practiced defending it as late as that morning in the hotel lobby.
