I'm gonna trade from #5 all the way down to #24 the spot Denver traded down to - and instead of realistic trade value I'm only gonna give him the same picks Denver acquired moving down from where they did at 13, giving us the #24 pick, 2 third rounders, and a 4th
1- Dez White- WR
2- Nate Allen- FS
2- Jason Worilds- OLB
3- Asomaoah- G
3- D. Butler- ILB
3- Moeaki- TE
4- Bruce Campbell T
4- Owusu-Ansah CB
5- Cam Thomas DT
5- Anthony Dixon RB
What's really funny is the total cost of that draft in contract dollars would be about half as much as either this year or last years draft.

Trading down from teh top 5 picks is difficult and only happens when there is a franchise QB or running back. The Patriots are always picking mid first round and back making it MUCH easier to trade down, than trading a top 5 pick. Trading back just to trade back does not make sense, it has to come with value. If the Chiefs were willing to trade the number 5 pick this year straight across for a number 2 they could have had plenty of trade offers. It doesn't work that way.
