OVERALL

I've never advocated for a punter to be drafted in the third round, but Dickson has the tools to become one of the league's best punters right out of the gate. He's big, strong, accurate and is still improving. If paired with a good defense, a weapon like Dickson could be worth a few wins per season.

GRADE: 6.00 (Late Round 3)

PRO COMPARISON: Andy Lee, Arizona Cardinals
