I think the 1st and 2nd would be a reasonable price, albeit one that not many teams would happily give up because a 2nd round pick can often be used to scoop up a "first round talent" which isn't the case in subsequent rounds, normally.

To get from 9 to 5, I would expect 2 3rd round picks (if they have 2) or maybe a 3rd and next year's 2nd (since picks in future drafts are typically valued a round lower due to the delayed value and unpredictability of where in that round the pick will be being dependent on how well the team does and the pick you're trading them may actually give them a better chance of doing well, making your pick worse).

It really depends on what is on the board that they want to get at 5.

If they are moving up for a QB that has fallen to 5 that they are in love with, then I can see them giving up a 1st and 2nd rounder. 

When Kansas City moved up to #9 to get Mahomes, this was the trade. Buffalo traded a first-round selection (10th) to Kansas City in exchange for Kansas City's first- and third-round selections (27th and 91st), as well as a first-round selection in 2018.

While there was a much larger gap in jumping from 27 to 10, they also included their first rounder next year. So, if the right QB is there in a top 5 selection, I could see Denver going 1 and 2 instead of not giving up a 1st next year.
