Then for some reason rounds 4-7 are treated like throw ins of little value when that's where the team building mining seems to separate the good from the bad.
Trading a second round pick seems to be the way to go.
The issue is when. Adding it to a package at the previous draft for a player that plays in your top half of the roster, or keeping it to make moves at the trade deadline or next year's draft.
Either way it seems like it makes more sense to trade 2nd round picks than keep them in recent seasons.

Yep, my only caveat is that is seems like the guys we’ve picked as of late with our second round picks have turned into damn good prospects. Of course it remains to be seen if any actually turn out.
