They thought they were the big fish, that they'd killed Negan and would be getting supplies from Hilltop. Rick was starting his own protection racket. He didn't realize that Negan's operation was much bigger, much more organized.
Yeah, that part they did pretty well. Negan is even sporting a similar beard - basically the guy Rick was trying to become.
Negan just "gets it' so much better than Rick. If things were reversed, Rick would have killed every one of them. Rick wants to keep his "family" safe. Negan is running a military operation and accepts losses. But a military operation needs supplies.
On a related note, now that they are about to most, if not all, their guns and ammo....Eugene's bullet-making operation would be critical. Good thing Negan didn't kill both Eugene and Abraham.
