The Cardinals at 16 seems to be a good spot.  They have no picks in the 3rd and 4th round because of earlier trades.

But if they traded up, who would be the target?

I'd only do this for Darrisaw if they've graded him much higher than the next group of tackles (Eichenberg, Cosmi, Brown, Radunz, etc.). I expect him to be taken by Minnesota at 14, however. I'd prefer trading up back into the 2nd if there is a run on these other tackles. They'd likely have to only give up their 3rd and 2nd 4th rounder- depending on how far they move up. In this scenerio they would end up with 3 very solid players in round 2. I don't believe many would be unhappy with any of those 4 tackles + one of the Moore's (prefer Elijah) and Freirmuth. These 3 offensive players would help Lawrence immensely. They'll still need a complementary back and another edge rusher, but I believe they can make this happen by trading up a ew more times. Having the first pick in each round makes this a lot easiier to do.

Dream scenario?  TREVOR, Barmore at 25. Freirmuth at 33. Looking at last year's stats, the team as a whole only gave up 42 sacks between Minshew/Luton/Glennon. They did a pretty good breakdown on SBNation where quite a few were mistakes where Minshew held the ball too long or panicked and ran INTO a sack. If they cut that down to about 32 sacks on the season, along with improved decision making from Trevor, a strong second year from Robinson and improved season from the NEW WR corps of Chark/Jones/Shinault/Dorsett/Johnson/Agnew/Johnson(?), and then add in a capable TE threat of Freirmuth.....the offense would look markedly different.  Ideally, if I could have ANY OL from the 2nd/3rd it'd be Quinn Meinerz from UW-Whitewater. I watched the Senior Bowl and that kid just MANHANDLED people at G. 

On defense, I think a interior line of Malcom Brown and Barmore is a LOT stronger than he had last year, which should increase the run defense and give the secondary time to make plays.
