Sure, I get long term assets here and there, but all told I would be better if I could efficiently translate that equity into some other capital than risky young players. If every year I traded mt picks in rounds 2-7 all for one under-market veteran player I'd likely be better off.

yep, your last point is exactly what i figured out after some time. i'm better off trading picks than hoping to draft chemistry fits. a 3rd or 4th round pick have some value to me on offense due to the auto chemistry and the guy being able to start in one formation. however anything after mid round 2 has close to nil value to me these days.
the drawback is what you mentioned above -- drafting is fun, so being out of the draft sucks somewhat.
