No you don't. Lots of teams get great players later in the draft. And no, I'm not talking about the incredibly slim chance of a player Datsyuk in the 7th round.

Giroux - 22nd overall
Kopitar - 11th overall
Getzlaf - 19th overall
Perry - 28th overall

Being a bottom team makes it a lot harder to miss, but you certainly don't need to be a bottom team to find top players.
