Dix is very fast with very fluid hips and can cover exceptionally well. He's not a consummate big hitter, but he's always in position and has the athletic ability to cover ground in a zone.
For what the Chiefs require and what they currently have on the roster, Dix is a much better option than Pryor, who is more of a poor man's Eric Berry than a true NFL level free safety.

I disagree. Watching the LSU and A&M tape, Dix was too late too often. Late to recognize the run and come in support, late with help over the top, allowing Evans to eat the Bama defense up deep, was easily boxed out by Evans on another deep pass (how is he going to handle even bigger TEs if he's letting a Wr do it to him), beat inside pretty badly by the LSU FB, is easily blocked, not much of a hitter, whiffs on too many tackles, etc. He honestly looks like he would be no better than Lewis.
