We have no need to trade Andy Dalton so there is literally no reason at all to accept ANYTHING LESS than a first round pick and a second round pick. With Andy, you are getting a serviceable starter. He is going to win you games, he has a high football IQ (doesn't necessarily always translate on the field), and he is capable of running your offense and being a team leader. There is no reason on earth to settle for anything less than he is worth.
With McCarron you should be getting a second round pick and a conditional third round pick (dependent on play-offs). He proved himself a good backup and worthy of getting a starting shot somewhere.
There is no reason for us to sell low on our talent. Saying we should ask for a 2nd/3rd for Andy Dalton is like saying we should trade AJ Green for a 3rd round pick and a Taco Bell gift card with a remaining balance of $7.34
