The Oilers have picked 7th, 1st, 1st, 1st, 10th, 22nd and 6th-15th-21st in the last 7 years. Why would picking in the top 5 next year suddenly pose a problem?
In the last 7 drafts, they have had 16 picks in the top 50, including 9 in the 1st round and 3 more at 31/32
Acquiring draft picks has not been their problem. Turning those picks into a team has been their problem.
