Sirius NFL Radio reports that the Chiefs have traded receiver/kick returner Dante Hall to the St. Louis Rams for a fifth-round pick in the 2007 draft.

The Chiefs were shopping Hall, whose production has dropped a bit since he had one of the best seasons ever for a kick returner in 2003.

The only knock on Hall is that he's never been able to fully develop as a receiver. At age 28, Hall still has several more years to make it happen.

A 5th huh?...lets see how they use it and compare careers of the two...my money is on Hall sight unseen of whom the Chief pick...

There has to be a story there somewhere for them to get rid of one of the best return men for a 5th round pick.

Like I said in another post, K.C. was so desperate for draft picks they were shopping Hall and Larry Johnson. Now Hall's gone and for what? A 5th round pick? Ludicrous. Guys like Hall are who you hope to find in the draft. You don't trade them away when you've got them. He was a game-changer in special teams, and unless you're damn lucky, no one you find in the fifth round will be able to fill his shoes or contribute as much to the team. In short, stupid trade.

Yep...that's the thing...there are only so many game breakers out there and you probably will not find one in the 5th round...who knows in the Rams Offense, Hall might even be an effective 3rd or 4th receiver....

If it was still the Mike Martz offense, I'd tend to agree. But the new Scott Linehan team's more ball-control.

Martz is a better coach than linehan..
