I think there's a lot of value in 4th round picks. When you start getting into the 5th, 6th, and 7th then not so much. There I think you're looking at a lot of positional value: RBs, reserve OL, #2/3 TE, STs guys. Most of the time you're not pulling a starter out of the last 3 rounds.
Danna has been a nice role player and you're finally getting good starter reps in his contract year, but purposefully turning guys for late-round picks in hopes that's what you get probably isn't a great practice.
For all those guys you mentioned, you also have to realize there are a lot of misses. Kinnard (probably), Kaindoh, Powell, Keyes, Fenton (he sucked for all but about 1/3 of a season so argue it if you want), O'Daniel, Thompson, Watts, Tremon Smith, McKenzie, etc..
Trey Smith is an exception in that he had a 1st-2nd round grade and was a medical guy. And that might be a type you target once per draft on day 3 if you can.
All that said, if it isn't giving Veach a pick in rounds 1-4, it probably isn't worth a whole lot other than a shot in the dark for a reserve/special teamer.
