The Arizona Cardinals are making "a lot of noise" in trade discussions to move up in Thursday's NFL draft, potentially to select a quarterback, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The Cardinals are currently slated to pick 15th overall.

Rapoport added that No. 5 (Denver) and No. 6 (Indianapolis) could be draft slots to target in search of a quarterback.

With only one pick in the first round and one pick in the second, it could prove challenging for general manager Steve Keim to get into the top five, but a move into the top 10 could be more realistic.

Arizona was known to be targeting Patrick Mahomes in the draft last year, but the Kansas City Chiefs traded up to snag the quarterback before the Cardinals went on the clock.

The Cards signed veteran quarterbacks Sam Bradford and Mike Glennon to short-term deals in free agency this offseason.
