Eyebrows were raised earlier today when 49ers G.M. Scot McCloughan suggested that teams might try to trade up to get either USC quarterback Mark Sanchez or Alabama tackle Andre Smith. Sanchez was no surprise; the shocker was Smith. Per a league source, the current thinking is that Smith will go to the Bengals at No. 6 or to the Packers at No. 9. Thus, if someone below spot No. 9 thinks that Smith is the real deal (notwithstanding his Pro Day burlesque show), then they need to get to No. 5 to get him, or to No. 7 or 8 if the Bengals pass.
