Call me crazy, we got damn good value out of that pick.
If we had as many picks as we did last year I'd have no issue whatsoever. With the limited number we have this year I might be more inclined to pass. [Reply]
For someone that can flip field position like that frequently, I think I'd consider him as early as the late 2nd. Kicks like that have extreme value. [Reply]
Is this really the year we let Colquit go? I mean people put this crap in their offseason plan every year but it never happens. The more I think about it, the more I think he stays. [Reply]

We're about to get a front-row seat to find out just how valuable that is.
The playoff game might as well be seen as a Dickson vs. Colquitt tryout. Brett Kern has been a monster this year; almost certainly the best punter in the game. He's done huge things for TN.
So if we feel like we're battling uphill all day while Kern is pinning us back and Colquitt can't answer, I feel like perhaps we need to make a splash on Dickson. If it turns out that the advantage Kern has provided over Colquitt this year is either flukey or easily overcome, I'd still cut Colquitt but I'd have no problem grabbing another less accomplished punter later in the draft and coaching him up.
