Typical is one or two per year, and to be honest there's a lot of value to be had in moving down. Teams tend to overvalue high picks, as per this article:

Quote:
For example the value of a late first-round pick from a contending team is actually closer in value to any third-round selection than it is to a top-five pick. Thinking of this from a glass-half-full perspective for a team trying to rebuild, this suggests that adding multiple second- or third-round selections is likely an easier way to improve the roster of a team than holding out for that tough-to-obtain first-round choice when the market is far more thin.
