Finally Dalton gets a top 10 rumor:

Jason La Canfora of NFL.com reports that there is a divide among the Titans’ coaching staff as to whom Tennessee should draft with the eighth overall selection.

The defensive coaches want Nick Fairley.

The offensive coaches want Andy Dalton.

Several league sources tell La Canfora that the Titans’ offensive staff considers Dalton “an elite prospect” with low bust potential, compared to the rest of the 2011 quarterback class. La Canfora “would not be surprised” if Tennessee drafted Dalton with the eighth pick in the draft.

Scout takes pride in 'rogue' label - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

This is a cool article by a scout that says gabbert isn't worth it but Locker is totally worth it.

Well, I think he's still high on their board, though perhaps not as high. But mainly because they don't think he'll even be there at 10.

I'm not sure how the news of his tumor possibly coming back is well, news. I think everyone knows his tumor is a risk that needs to be monitored

SS if u had to guess on our Big Board ratings what would u say?

I'd think something like
1. Locker
2. Quinn
3. Jones
4. Mallett
5. Smith

Just listened to the latest First Draft Podcast with Kiper and McShay and the rumor they're hearing right now from their sources around the league is that Mallet is going to slip to the 4th round. The maturity and character concerns have gotten so bad that it overshadows his 1st round talent.

Talking Aldon Smith SS

I'd be stunned if Mallett falls that far

[SmootSmack]

I seriously doubt Mallet falls to the 4th round

Maybe so, but Kiper and McShay were very convinced after talking to their sources around the league that Mallet will fall to the 4th. First Draft Podcast on ITunes 4/26 edition. The 18:00 mark.

Also apparently the Bengals are looking into taking Julio Jones at 4 over Green. They think that he fits their system well, they need a receiver, and there's a slight possibility that it might get Palmer to reconsider his demand for a trade, in part because Jones would not only give him a weapon but he would also serve as the anti-diva at Wide Receiver.
