I think a more noticeable difference is projected top 3 round picks leaving because of the new agreement in order to get a an earlier chance at the more lucrative post rookie contract.
i can go look for contracts but i don't think it makes much of a difference past like picks 15 or so
and the guys leaving early that are making heads scratch aren't top 3 round possibilities (just throwing out names discussed: ego, turner, hilliard, magee). landry/OBJ should be top 3 round locks. hill almost there. freak is getting hype in the draftink circles, but i'd say he's 50/50 to go in the top 3 rounds. that's a total of 4, and those guys make sense. the egos, turners, faulks, etc are the ones that kill our depth.

I don't think this round is going to be full of guys making mistakes there though.
Landry and Beckham are top 3 round locks, like you said. If Hill isn't a top 3 round lock, he never will be - he's a RB, which is the only reason he isn't a top 3 round lock right now. Johnson seems like he's a late 2nd/early 3rd round guy as well, just looking around.
Ferguson and Collins are borderline top 3 rounds and it'll probably depend on the Combine and the rest of the pre-Draft preparations that decide it... riskier, but I can understand it. (And yes, Ferguson, I've seen late 3rd everywhere for him)
Hilliard and Magee are staying, so no worries there.
It's really just Trai Turner (and he definitely is making a mistake) who's pulling a Chris Faulk here
EDIT: Ware and Ford weren't going to move up much imo. As long as they were here with Hill, those three would have split too many carries, along with Blue and Hilliard. I think they made the right call just because their exposure was going to be too limited. Downside of having such a strong stable of talented backs.
