For people looking to move up and down in these later rounds I would like to say a word. I'm new to the game but as the rounds go down so does the talent drop off. In some cases dramatically.
Trading a 1st rounder for a 2nd and 3rd and more is good value due to the increase in talent. But as the talent decreases a 3rd rounder is no longer worth a 3rd and 4th because the upgrade in talent is so much less. Tomorrow when we hit the 4th round the talent drops off even more.

I disagree with your point you could argue that with talent decreasing teams are more desperate to fill out their rosters with good players rather than average-to-below average ones and therefore the price --should-- be just as high.
Value continues to be relative throughout the draft. After all, if you're arguing that the talent is round 3 is lower than round 1 (which it of course is) then the 3/4 someone gets for that 3/4 is ALSO worth less than the 2/3 you said is good value.
* I don't agree the talent drops off in the 4th, but we can agree to disagree
