Yeah, 1st rounders are valuable, even late ones. A single first round pick might not be that valuable, but they do add up. If you give up multiple picks, it has a cumulative effect. You're (probably) not getting stars with those picks, but good scouting can net you good role players, and you definitely need those good young players on their cheap rookie contracts to stay competitive.
