What's the cost to move up from late 20's to #6? I'm guessing its more than a 1st and a 2nd. This year is one of the only years the packers are close enough to strike on a top 5 player without giving away all their picks.

And I can't imagine the receiving team trading their 6th overall away for a load of crapshoot picks, while the Packers wouldn't want to give up an entire draft.
So that gets us up to 1.160 of the 1.600 we need.
The worth of future picks isn't on the draft chart, but as a rule of thumb you could state that value drops by around a round.
That means our first would be worth 320 points and our second 140 points, getting us up to 1.620.
In short, we could hypothetically trade for the 6th overall + 166th overall selection for the 26th, 58th, 90th + 26th & 58th next year. We'd better be getting the second coming of Reggie White along with a 6th rounder like Marco Rivera.
As a little side note.
The chart in question is about 35 years old. Since the league has changed tremendously, the chart has been changed, as well. It's just that teams don't publicly show this chart. Someone's made a pretty good approximation, though.
As a second little side note... I'm fully aware that this wasn't meant as a realistic scenario in the first place.
