I don’t think a team has entered the top 5 from outside the top 10 in 20 years.

I was looking for a post I made a few years ago that went through draft by draft and came to this conclusion, but I can't find it. Essentially, it's impossible to acquire a top 5 pick in the cap era, while it's known that it's a top 5 pick ** Kessel trade did result in a 2nd overall being traded.
