That's pretty much what happened with Richard Sherman and it worked... Why not?!

If Clinton-Dix fell to us I would be thrilled, but I just don't see him getting past St. Louis or Chicago

They did that with Sherman, but at Stanford, not sure how it would work at the pro level. kinda reminds me too much of the Devon Hester-to-receiver move, though.

I've seen a couple highlights where he's made some pretty amazing INTs, but that's still from highlight reels. I'll see what I can find in Louisville game film on him, but see my comment about Clinton-Dix.
*NOTE* Pryor has the same number of INTs as Clinton-Dix and more forced fumbles.
