We have virtually no players from the 4th round or later who've made the team in the last 12 years

You have to be careful about criticism in a vacuum--in other words, do other teams really do much better?
I picked a team at random (got St. Louis) and looked at their 4th and later round picks and later during the same period. Here's the ones with NHL games:
Jani Hakanpaa (4th round 2010): 117 games
Petteri Lindbohm (6th round 2012): 42 games
Ville Husso (4th round 2014): 41 games
Austin Poganski (4th round 2014): 22 games
Sammy Blais (6th round 2014): 133 games
Glenn Gawdin (4th round 2015): 9 games
Niko Mikkola (5th round 2015): 79 games
Alexei Toropchenko (4th round 2017): 9 games
Joel Hofer (4th round 2018): 2 games
Lots of fringe players, but hardly anyone even on the level of Bear or Jones (Blais is the only one I've heard of). I think the perception of Oiler late round draft futility is a bit overblown. I have a feeling they're not that much worse than most teams and converting them to NHLers.

The success rate for players drafted after the first couple of rounds drops precipitously.
However, I think it's pretty notable that the Oilers have misjudged three different players who they picked, trading one for an AHL grinder, another for a 6th round pick and not even offering a contract to the third.
I mean, you would think you'd have some sense as to what you had with those guys, and each would have been useful players to have in the last decade. Technically we got Rieder back, but not for his best years.
