This was something Schefter mentioned this morning and is the main scenario I'm looking out for as far as a potential move up.
Unless Arizona wants to trade down for a deep discount (which I could see depending on how bad they want Simpson) I don't think going all the way up to 3 is realistic.
What is realistic is going up to 6, and if if Styles makes it past the Giants or the scenario like the one below plays out with either Reese or Bailey (probably Bailey), then I could see us moving up.
If it all goes chalk with Reese/Bailey going 2/3, and then the Giants taking Styles at 5, I doubt we move up except maybe something small to 9/10 if they love Downs, Delane or Bain.
For what it's worth, there's been growing chatter about Love to Arizona if they can't move down. Could just be BS attempting to convince the league they're not desperate to move down, but it's interesting either way.

One long-shot scenario to keep an eye on
There are draft surprises every year, with players going in spots no one forecasted. Here's one that, depending on how the first few picks play out, has generated some speculation in a handful of front offices.
- If the Jets take Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey at No. 2, which many believe will happen ...
- If the Cardinals then take Love, which appears to be gaining some traction ...
- And if the Titans then take Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles, which is one of Tennessee's options ...
Then Ohio State edge rusher Arvell Reese -- or Bailey, if the Jets take Reese at No. 2 -- could slide to No. 5. It would suddenly be very tempting for a team such as the Cowboys to potentially trade up for a top-tier pass rusher. Again, the draft would have to go a specific way for this scenario to play out. But two teams raised this scenario this weekend, wondering if it somehow could unfold this week. It's exactly the type of scenario that makes the draft so compelling.
