EDM's drafting with their recent #1 picks has not been a problem.
They took Hall 1st in 2010, if you want to say they should have picked Seguin, I disagree, but that's fine and either way you'd have picked a F. In 2011 they took RNH, some had Landeskog ahead, a few had Larsson but I don't think you can look at that and say they clearly made a mistake, although it's obviously too soon to be certain for any of the 3. In 2012 Yakupov was arguably considered the most consensus #1 of the 3 years, I think it would have been a mistake to pick anyone but Yakupov at the time (based on the information I've seen), but that of course does not mean he's guaranteed to be the best player or anything.
