Since there's a lot of talk of trading down, let's take a look at the players picked at #5 and #11 overall in the last 10 years. Anyone see any busts or semi busts? Or were they mostly solid to elite players? Could the drafting teams have gotten better value by trading down? (Some did trade down) Or did they do well to stay at #5? How much of a dropoff in talent do you see between #5 and #11, if any?
