While there are other teams with a need at QB that could trade up, the Pats are most capable of swapping picks with the Cards and likely to have a new HC looking to make a splash. Do we talk to the Cards to head this off? Are we so desperate to grab Maye we blow up our own draft?

I actually doubt, barring a stupid offer, either the Bears or Cards trade. Even if they were to trade back with the Pats, there's no guarantee who they want is there as we could then take Harrison. So most likely everyone in the top 3 holds onto their positions and its Williams, Harrison and Maye. Then the Pats reach for Daniels and they're back to square one at QB.

I can live with Maye @ #3, but trading up even if an option, would be folly given the talent that would be available regardless of the top 2 picks, and our needs.
As I pointed out earlier the draft order is very likely to change for the worse for us unless the Cards win one or the Pats win again. We are almost tied in SoS with the Pats and our yearly opponents are more likely to win than theirs are over the next two weeks meaning the Pats will more than likely have a weaker SoS than us in 2 weeks.
