So for instance it would take more to move from the 10th pick down to the 8th pick than in would to move from the 7th pick to the 5th because you're moving into a higher quality tier.

The drop is probably not as large as you are suggesting (and certainly not as large as the above trade suggestions implied). Some rankings have even had Lindholm (or Nichushkin or Nurse) ahead of Barkov.
As for your suggestion with respect to 10 to 8 vs 7 to 5. With all due respect, I will simply agree to disagree.
