No - look at the the history, there are lots of examples of teams loading up on picks and the resulting returns are usually less than spectacular.
Obviously teams look at more than just 7 or 8 players. Only an idiot would assume that they only look at the minimum number that they are drafting. However, there are limits to how many players that a team can do its due diligence on. The more picks you have, the more leg work you need to do to be properly prepared - it's pretty straight-forward. And the results (purely anecdotal, I readily admit) seem to back that up.
