I think the expense involved in signing top 5-10 picks scares a lot of teams away from trading up that high to get a player. Considering the amount of guaranteed money involved and the requirement to give up several players/picks to do the deal, I think moving into the top 5 is going to be getting rarer and rarer.
If the Broncos do want to get a QB, the Raiders pick at 7 might be appealing. Jacksonville might go after a QB so the Broncos would have to get ahead of them (at 8) and with Shannahan out of the picture, dealing between the Broncos and Raiders isn't forbidden anymore.
Personally, I would love it if the Raiders got out of the #7 spot and down in to the 12-15 spot. I don't want them to take Crabtree or Machlin and they have so many holes that an extra pick would be great.
