It's not so much what the Chiefs have lost, though there are some not insignificant losses (Albert, Schwartz).
It's that the Chiefs roster clearly had some holes throughout the season and at the end of the year.
FS
WR
TE
OL
DL (pass rush ability)
All needed obvious improvements in the starting lineup.
The Chiefs have added one player (Walker) to those position groups, and it is at the least important/least critical spot.
Meanwhile, they've lost players on the OL and have done nothing but sign depth players in FA.
They're clearly counting on internal improvement and getting some impact guys out of the draft, but it's highly unlikely the Chiefs find all the answers they need and make all the roster improvements they need to build on last year's (flimsy and unlikely replicated) success.
