I would call a later round pick the 4th and after, and that may even be a little generous as some of those picks are still from the first half of the draft (mid-point now being pick 112, or the middle of the 4th round). The numbers are really on the back of four players (three 2nd rounders) from two drafts (although I suspect you might be counting Fox in our numbers too?). Just a little bit of a nitpick.
I think "later round pick" works here because of how dramatically higher success rates are for NHL first rounders than they are for every other round. I don't recall the percentages off hand, but I do know that it drops pretty precipitously after Round 1.
