Only reason they are moving up in the first round a significant amount is for a QB, much like Kansas City did last year. I can see maybe moving up a couple picks if Hernandez or Wynn was there and the cost was peanuts, but that's it really.

But of the group of teams between us and Detroit, who appears to be in the market for a first round QB?

21.  Cincinnati-Wouldn't appear to make sense for them at this point.  If they were, they would have stayed at 12.  This year is shaping up as Marvin Lewis' last hurrah

22.  Buffalo-Yes, but they are now in Cincy's former position at 12, and could package this pick to move up.  Any team in the top 5 that would trade back with Buffalo wouldn't be interested in QB at whatever pick they trade, otherwise they would use that pick for a QB instead of dealing back.

23.  New England-Possibly needs Brady's replacement. 

24.  Carolina-No

25.  Tennessee-No

26.  Atlanta-No

27.  New Orleans-possibly needs Brees' replacement

28.  Pittsburgh-possibly needs BigBen's replacement

Arguably, since New England was just in the Super Bowl and New Orleans and Pittsburgh were in the playoffs, they could eschew a QB for a guy who meets a more immediate need to maybe push them over the hump.  For instance, New Orleans could draft one of the young TEs, or Pittsburgh could bolster their run defense.   But assuming all three are legitimate threats to draft a QB, Jacksonville may not have to go all the way to 20.  Besides, if New England were truly interested in a QB, perhaps they package some picks to move up, possibly ahead of Arizona.

Somehow, if the Detroit talk has any validity, I don't think it's for a QB.
