Moving into the top 5 is basically impossible and even getting into the top 10 is tough. You can look through past drafts to see that:

Here's a list of trades that involved a team moving up in a draft that involved a top 10 pick since 2000:

2008:

-2nd and a 3rd to move from 7th to 5th
-2nd to move from 9th to 7th

2007:

-2nd and a 3rd to move from 13th to 9th

2005:

-2nd and a 7th to move from 12th to 8th

2004:

-2nd to move from 8th to 4th

2003:

-3rd to move from 3rd to 1st

2002:

-4th to move from 10th to 9th

So it hasn't happened in almost 5 years and even when it has happened the movement has been very small.
