Terry McDonough before the session said he considered eight quarterbacks in the draft Round 1-2 caliber: Cam Newton of Auburn, Blaine Gabbert of Missouri, Jake Locker of Washington, Ryan Mallett of Arkansas, Andy Dalton of Texas Christian, Christian Ponder of Florida State, Ricky Stanzi of Iowa and Colin Kaepernick of Nevada. "I think that's the consensus," he (McDonough) said, adding, "A lot of teams need quarterbacks, but I don’t think any of them are there at the end of the third round."
