Alabama OT Andre Smith to the Packers?

PrintThis would make the draft for Mitchell. Pro Football Talk says the big, really big, OT from Alabama, Andre Smith, won't slip past the Packers at No. 9 overall:
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.
Because starting RT Mark Tauscher is still rehabbing from his ACL surgery, and remains unsigned, filling the hole at right tackle with one of the most promising o-line products to ever come out of the SEC has a lot of merit. Yes, he did completely melt down at the combine, but he spent the previous few months destroying the SEC.
The current consensus is that B.C. DT B.J. Raji is the pick, but Smith wouldn't be a shock.

Not Smith
We need an Offensive Lineman desperately, but I doubt Andre Smith suits the zone blocking scheme due to his size. Also, you need to be intelligent to pick up on the scheme, and his low Wonderlic Score doesn’t look too promising for Smith.
Patriots looking to move
It looks like they are looking to trade into the top 10 to 8th or 9th giving up their 23rd and 47th picks. 23rd is a little low for when I wanted the Pack to make their first pick but a mid second round pick would be worth it. That would give the Pack five picks in the top 83.
