To drop from #5 with same year compensation, you need to drop down to #11 overall to get another 2nd rounder:
#11 overall (1,250) + 2nd round 11th pick, #43 overall (470) = 1,720 points.
So, some of the options appear to be something like:
Option A = Pick #03 + #35.
Option B = Pick #05 + #35 + #37
Option C = Pick #11 + #35 + #37 + #43
Honestly, I choose option C above. 4 guys in the top 43 beats 2 guys in the top 35 when we have as many holes on our roster as we do.
Of course, you can slide down less from pick #5 if you want to just pick up 3rd or 4th round choices instead of 2nd round choices. I would rather get guys in the top 50 than guys in the 100s.

I understand the draft value charts, but they're static and don't take into account things like a team deciding they have to have a certain player, i.e. Washington with RGIII. I'm really hoping Denver ends up deciding they need a certain QB (don't care which one as long as they're likely to be available at 3) and "overpays" based on the draft chart to move up to 3 while the Colts get 5, 36, and Denver's 2019 1. They still have their choice of defender at 5 in all likelihood, and there are still trade opportunities there if for some reason the front office feels this draft is deeper than it is topheavy.
