Historically, the cost to move up has been draft picks (high 2nd rounders, etc.)
I would say the value of draft picks have gone up since we've seen a team trade into the top 5, so the price would probably be more.... but not significantly.
If a team is serious in trading down (in that a team like Columbus prefers Logan Brown), draft picks are fair value. If a team isn't interest in trading down to begin with, the ask will be unreasonably high (designed to favour the team trading down).
