Report: Titans’ coaching staff divided on No. 8 overall pick
Posted by Evan Silva on April 26, 2011, 3:14 PM EDT
AP
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.
The Titans’ defensive staff has obvious connections to Fairley because line coach Tracy Rocker performed the same role at Auburn last year. There isn’t an NFL team more familiar with Nick Fairley.
We suspect Fairley is higher on Tennessee’s draft board. But at the same time, quarterback is a more valuable position in the NFL, and the Titans don’t pick again until No. 39.
With one or two quarterback runs expected on the draft’s first day, the Titans may not have the luxury of waiting for theirs.
And if they truly believe Dalton is a franchise-caliber passer, there’s no sense in waiting for the second round, when Dalton easily could be off the board.
hmmp,they do need a qb

Here's an interesting rumor. I'm not sure Gabbert is the QB wanted.
"Was just told: "San Francisco loves Jake Locker. Willing to take Locker over Gabbert." Interesting"

Mayock on Around the League is about to talk about Locker and the Niners. They teased by saying Locker would look good in burgandy and gold.

Depends on which QB Harbaugh wants. Trading down for Jimmy Smith and a franchise QB (after trading back up into first round for Locker, Kaepernick or Ponder) would be sweet. Or Jimmy Smith, QB and best OLB at #45, also sweet.

Agreed. It's impossible to believe that the player who many experts consider to be the best player in the draft will fall to #7.
I think Denver will take him at #2.

I want both. they are both a position of need. Harbaugh knows what QBs he wants. if Gabbert is one of them than i would want the QB over Peterson. if he isn't than I would want Peterson. However, we are in love with Peterson but what if the Niners equally like Prince. It doesn't matter how we feel. they could trade back and still get prince so in that case i wouldn't want either. If the niners like both guys though i say QB always trumps CB. And i really like Peterson but Playoff teams have a QB and we obviously don't.

browns wont take him, bengals have 2 really good corners, and and we know the cards and panthers wont...the only x factor in the top 7 is denver. This will be interesting to see...
