We wound up staying at #5, and quite frankely I don't even know if we attempted to move up. IIRC, we didn't because we valued the draft picks more than anything. And even with Dorsey on the board at #5, who many considered to be the absolute best player in the draft, we listened to trade offers to move down and get more picks. And there was at least one offer from the Saints at #10, but they pretty much wanted us to just give them the #5 pick for a song and a dance. My guess is much the same thing is going to happen this year. Everybody wants to keep picks, not trade them, and the top picks just cause teams to give up too much in return. There will be a lot of talk, but when it comes right down to it not much movement in the top 5 to 7 picks.

Good points, but I think it depends on the year. When a QB is a potential top 5 pick and two QB's as potential top 10, a lot can change. Especially when you throw two top 5 LT's in the mix. There are a ton of teams with ammo to make moves and anything can happen.
Hey Alpha, nice thread.
