Also went back and pulled up the KC Star articles from that time. Chiefs only had Marcus Allen and some unknown as the only running backs under contract at the time of the draft. Free agency was in it's early days and teams hadn't figured it out quite yet. It's basically why they went after Hill and Bennett. Also the Star had the day before the draft that Hill was the #2 overall running back behind Marshal Faulk. Basically it made sense on draft day.
