Bye Bye Timmy
If the Niners end up tanking really hard I think they should trade down to somewhere near the 4th to 10th picks and hope that either Bush, Adrian Peterson or Lendale White fall to them. Hopefully, they'll get some extra 2nd or 3rd round picks to build depth for that o-line.
I don't need more cowbell dammit!

They might not have any long terms goals for Smith. They may be trying to acquire his potential now for a good trade a few years down the road. That was the Eagles original intention for McNabb. They turned down Ricky Williams (thank God) to get him and really upset fans. Ironically all those fans that booed the draft now wear his jersey. Go Eagles!!!!

^^^I agree...there's no way they would use a number one pick to draft someone that they would develop enough to become tradeable just to get some other guys down the line. Especially when we're talking about a Quarterback.
Once you get a QB developed you're good for at least a decade so there's no good reason to trade him. Plus, if a team were stupid enough to trade a good QB the team that would receive him would be hamstrung because they'd have to then rebuild their offense around him and get him acclimated to the playbook...it just wouldn't make sense.
