Possibility of trading down in the draft

Or if their guy falls in the draft, would they be willing to jump up?  Say Arizona for example, they pick 15th.  Palmer is gone and they'll have a new coach.  What would that pick be worth to drop down say 3-7 slots?

That's why I was hoping they would just bomb against Detroit and Baltimore (although that was pretty sweet) and get a higher pick.  I think there will be a LOT of demand on the QBs.  This isn't the QB class like Marino, etc, but it will dazzle the masses once they start throwing at the combine and doing personal workouts.  

I think teams like Jacksonville, the Jets, the Bills, etc, would really want to move up to get one and might offer a hefty price, but I don't know if where we sit at #12 would get as big a bounty to make it worth sliding in Rd 1.  I would sure listen to offers, though.  And maybe go with a player like Vita Vea towards the end of Rd 1 or if they find a tackle they really like.
