They won't do it, I even necessarily think they should. But if there's a situation that they think the rookie can put up numbers similar to Smith's last season, they should take the picks and salary and move on.
By having the rookie qb sit a year, that's a year of value gone. Ideally, you recoup that over his tenure by him being a franchise qb, so it's worth it. But if I could have both, I'd do it.

There's no way to know it until the bullets start flying. They can never have any idea if he's able to get anywhere near what a competent veteran QB can do until, what, game 3? It damn sure can't be known in camp and it's rare that you spot it in pre-season.
By then, nobody's going to trade for a QB that hasn't been in their system all off-season; he's worthless to them.
Nothing about trading/cutting Alex Smith this season makes sense - sorry.
