I'll answer the question first since I proposed it:
I would.
It's either the Chiefs pick or the Rams pick in the second round next year, both which will presumably be towards the back end of the second round. It's hard to find elite players there. You can, but it's not easy.
Earl Thomas for one season is still an elite player and I think if he came to the Chiefs he knows he would have a shot at a ring in a down AFC, which could theoretically enhance his value even more, making him even more $$$$$ in the off season in FA. He wants to go to the Cowboys, yes, but he ALSO wants to get paid! The Chiefs could give him an additional platform to do that.
And, I'll be honest, I'm tired of waiting. You never know what the future holds. Injuries and other bad shit happens. And it seems like Mahomes is possibly having a season for the ages. Those don't come along very often. As another poster mentioned somewhere in this thread (or it might have been another one), the Chiefs are elite in two phases: Offense and ST. Why not take the defense from bad to at least average with an impact player like Earl Thomas??
It is a HUGE position of need for this team right now and would probably make us the front runner in the AFC. The Brady era has got to end sometime . . . . . .
