Correct. But as I said. Reid must have felt strongly enough about acquiring Smith, that losing two high picks was worth it. This is all me guessing, but if they felt Smith would give them more than any QB in last years or this years draft, and that his impact would be more than any player they would pick at those spots, you do it.
They simply felt: Alex Smith > the 2 second rounders. I can't disagree at this point.
