It's not about the individual players lost. It's about how many of them were lost in one offseason and how many question marks the Chiefs have.
If you're looking at it from a non-fan perspective, the Chiefs have big question marks at:
LT
RT
RG
OL (in general... when 60 percent of your line is unknown, you're OL is generally a question mark)
WR3
TE2
ILB
FS
And the Chiefs are underwhelming at the following positions that have known commodities at them:
LG
WR1 (below average WR1)
WR2 (Below average WR2)
CB1
CB2
NCB
There are just a lot of potential holes. Odds are that the Chiefs will plug some of them with internal candidates.... but still have more holes than can be plugged just by working the roster from within.
It's not like they had a killer draft with a bunch of picks that plugged holes with high picks, either.
