My opinion is that it would be a knock on, the Ref will pick you up on the original drop, I think you'd have to make it clear it is meant to be a drop kick.

The ball must have been deliberately dropped for the kick.

If you say, attempt to catch a pass and foggle it, then get your boot in before it lands, it is still a knock-on.

What is a knock on in soccer?

A knock-on occurs when a player accidently knocks the ball forward with hand or arm. A scrum will be called by the referee and the team not knocking on will have the advantage of putting the ball into the scrum. If the knock-on is considered deliberate by the referee he will order a penalty kick against the offending side. Sometimes the referee will allow play to continue after a knock-on if he thinks the side not knocking on has gained an advantage from their opponent's error.

Why only pass backward in rugby?

If you pass forward, it will be a forward pass. ~ The "back pass" rule in both codes is one of the few, close to original rules that comes from the day of Webb Ellis "running with the ball". The rules of his time only allowed a player to retreat backwards carrying the ball or kick forwards. The pass in line or behind the ball carrier was placed in the rule book so that the ethos of the ball to the rear was still kept and it was then made an offence to throw/pass the ball forward of the original carrier, however, the carrier can kick the ball forward.
