Chiefs sign UDFA CB Kahlef Hailassie from Western Kentucky

[staylor26]

This was one of my favorite day 3 prospects. Not sure what happened, but apparently he's a Chief now

Interesting they would go so far to “poach” another UDFA…

That it’s a DB means to me that all available cap is going to Jones, and Sneed is a question mark.

If we’re not going to keep Sneed in the end, something better than a potential comp pick would sure be helpful in the long run.

Loading up on DB’s and letting the biggest dogs win..

The odds Snead comes back has always been low, CB's get huge bank in FA.

Gotta think one of these guys ends up being a plus player. We're just throwing so many darts one must hit. It does make me think of the Sneed situation. Year before this last one I wondered if he was a bit overrated and replaceable, this year he just seemed so important. Some of what he brings is probably replicable with some of these later rate round guys or someone like Conner, but a lot isn't imo. He might get caught flat footed and lose guys sometimes, but his speed and physicality are a step above anything else we have.

I think these flyers round out the safety and CB rooms really well. I'm just hoping we can keep Sneed without paying silly money too. Sneed, McDuffie and the best of the rest just looks really, really solid. We'll never get an elite CB but we can have a group without an obvious weak link.

I wonder if they’ve had conversations internally about trading Sneed.

What brings the Chiefs more value?

Keeping Sneed for the last year of his rookie deal and then collecting a comp pick in the 2025 draft for him…

Or

Trading him for what I’d guess would be a second round pick.

I’d have to think if we couldn’t get a 2, we would go with option 1..

You write the words that few people dare think.

It is an interesting idea. It does have a practical side, but I don't think the Chiefs would do it.

If you did this wouldn't all the good young Chief draft picks think, I'm not long for this team? They are just going to trade me and move on so I am not sacrificing for the team.

Really nice signing

His floor is a 14 vet, 2 time Pro Bowler, with 45 career interceptions?

Well, how in TF did someone with a floor like that go unfrafted?

I would think they would want to keep him for this year for a solid run at the Super Bowl. That's worth more than future picks. The other guys are still developing and we need his presence on the field. I'd hate to see them trade him away because this is going to be one of if not the best defense in history of the Chiefs. This secondary will be second to none. We need Snead. These guys will then have another year under the belt so our future is still bright.

Like Jones, I can see the buisness side, but can the cost be better than hoisting another Lombardi?
