I think it's more the fact that people didn't want another hole to open up on the roster. They saw what the defense was like when it had to rely on the #4 and #5 options early in the season (Gaines would have been the nickel had he not gotten injured).
Now without a 3rd rounder in this draft, losing a solid starter like Smith is something no one wants. That being said, he wasn't without his flaws and could definitely be upgraded.
