They are "ahead" in this area for the next few months until all three graduate this year and then then they are behind 29 teams again. After the 2016 draft they will add Mathews and then they are top 5 for another few months again... until he graduates. It's not how good feeder systems are maintained... and that's the point, the Oilers don't have a good feeder system because all they get out of the draft is the guy the drafted #1 in the previous draft. Most teams actually find talent in round 2-7 occasionally, which is important because they don't have a top 5 pick every year to bank on like the Oilers do.
