Cardinals Difficult Decision at Number One
If the draft were held today, the Arizona Cardinals would select first overall. So who would they select? The Cardinals certainly don't have a need for WR, RB, or QB; so we have to assume that they would pass on Adrian Peterson, Calvin Johnson, and Brady Quinn. Would they select Joe Thomas, OT, Wisconsin? While that fills a major need, especially with Leonard Davis slated to be a free agent, it doesn't seem like a smart choice. A trade down would be a much better scenario with the Cards stockpiling additional picks.

Yes, but how far would they trade down? And who would be willing to trade up that high? It could be similar to last season, where no one will be willing to trade up to #1 and is content to take the BPA, because most of the top-10 already have their QB and RB of the future. The only individual they may consider trading up for is Calvin Johnson, but it's risky to take a WR with the #1 pick.
Only one WR has gone #1 in the last 20+ years, Keyshawn Johnson. While he's been a decent receiver, he wouldn't have been taken #1 if that draft were re-done (Jonathan Ogden would probably go #1.)
