I'm not so sure. The old mentality of FOF drafting was that you coudl get value most anywhere - you just needed to be high to get great players at certain positions (like DE, OT, maybe CB and WR). I'm now thinking that with the revamped drafting system, there's more value with the higher picks -- you don't end up getting guys who settle at the bottom of their "blue bands" and have a chance to land players with future ratings of 80 or better.

My current thinking is that the value of very high draft picks has probably jumped up, maybe to match the way the game seems to value them (or to at least get closer).
