Chiefs to the rescue?
After entering the offseason as the No. 1 prospect at defensive end, Hali's stock dropped precipitously because of average workouts and fairly mundane 40-yard times. People found out that, although Hali was a good pass rusher, he didn't have as much explosive upfield speed as they had hoped.

However, the Chiefs might provide Hali a safety net, writes ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli. The conventional wisdom is that Kansas City will choose a cornerback in the first round. But in the Cover 2 scheme that coach Herm Edwards will employ, the cornerbacks have to play run support as much as coverage, and the Chiefs feel the cornerback depth in this draft will allow them to get such a player in the second round. The Chiefs have been onto Hali for a while now and he would provide them another pass rusher to team with emerging star Jared Allen.

Grain of salt-type post. I personally hope this is not the case.
