With what the original poster said, that only makes McCarrons value higher, which is great for us.

I have said it from the start I would rather get a proven player back in return but if we trade for draft picks he will get us a 2nd and 4th round pick.

Honestly, I'd be happy if they just got a 2nd or 3rd rounder. Given the Bengals could use help at DE, LB, WR, RB, DB, and multiple OL spots, it's not going to be possible to fit all of those needs within the first four rounds (even with two potential 4th round comps). They likely will have to invest a late round pick into one of those spots, but if they trade McCarron for just one early-mid round pick, they can invest that late rounder into a backup QB (if desired) and have the extra early-mid rounder go to help fill a more urgent position.
