I've read on another board that perhaps a Buck/Josh Thole swap will be a part of the Dickey deal...but to be quite honest I don't know much about Thole.
Better hitter worse power. Have read that he's not great defensively but dunno for certain. I agree with you that TDA, and mid level prospect or two for Dickey and Davis would be fair. It is so tough to find all around catchers, i think TDA being ranked the best catching prospect should be worth a lot and should be worth more than 1 year of dickey.
