It was for 2 second round picks, and the situation was much different.
The Forty Niners HAD TO trade Smith because he had a lot of support among a lot of his teammates. The Niners were afraid that keeping him and forcing him to back up Kaepernick would case tension in the lockerroom.
If the Bengals benched Dalton and made him the back up for McCarron then it would be an accurate comparison. Once a team is forced to trade a player the price drops.
