And Dix does one thing exceptionally well - defends the deep ball. Sideline to sideline. He's got great range, and if you watched the Chiefs in 2013, it's the one thing that absolutely destroyed them nearly every week.
Dix has uncanny pass defense skills. He takes good angles, has very smooth feet and hips, and has the length to disrupt on deep throws.
There isn't a safety in this draft that offers you the complete package that Dix does, especially when you consider the defense that Sutton runs. The Chiefs have their front box guy in Berry. The missing piece is a guy just like Dix.

He is a great ball hawk but he is not the complete package. Pryor is the complete package. Pryor is the most well rounded safety in this class and it's not even close imo. Fans complained more about Lewis missing tackles than they did blown coverage's. Ha Ha is not going to be much of an improvement in this area. With the way they use Berry in the box so much, that other safety damn sure better be able to tackle because he is going to be the last line of defense on almost every play. Lewis killed us last year. I don't want an ankle biter back there. I want a solid tackler at FS who can also play the pass.
