P. player. 28. Scouting Report. Michael Dickson. 2. Pick Analysis. Texas

Round 3, No. 75 overall: Texas Bowl MVP Michael Dickson has the chance to be the highest punter taken if not the only punter taken in this NFL Draft.

Only one punter has been taken in the first three rounds over the past 10 years, so Dickson has a shot at making history.

What makes the 2017 Ray Guy Award winner so tantalizing is his ability to flip the field, giving his opponents little if any return opportunities.

Dickson would be a great match for an Oakland team that recently lost their Top 3 rated punter Marquette King. The Raiders are used to having maximum yards per punt with King averaging 42.7, Dickson had a 47.4 gross average and 44.2 net average during his time with the Longhorns.

If Dickson were to go to the Raiders there would be no reason why he wouldn’t be able to come in and win the starting job during camp against Colby Wadman, a free agent the Raiders signed in March.
