Seems likely if this guy is going to move inside on passing downs. Personally I hope we trade down and get more picks and we take Mathews.

If Antonio Smith is that Justin Tuck type that kicks inside on third downs then we will probably still need an edge rush specalist. I don't know if specalist who plays only on third downs is worth a first pick, unless like you say he is an OLB for the other downs, but he is probably worth a second pick.
Say a Michael Johnson in the second, or a Brian Cushing/Clay Matthews in the first.
