I've always wondered about this. I'm guessing they use numbers from the previous years to project how many will go. Still tough to get the right numbers.
The biggest thing they could do to reduce the number of early entries is to get some sort of control over the sleazy agents. These kids have a decent bowl game, and there's blood in the water for the sharks. It's scary some of things these guys say to kids. I've seen way too many swayed too early. Some absolutely need to leave early (and some positions like RB almost demand it), but way too many get bad information.

As far as the high number, it makes sense with there not being a huge reward for improving draft stock. I'd be interested to see if any sports writer (or even economist) saw this coming when the new CBA came out.
I remember some arguing this would curb the number of early entries because there wouldn't be that huge payoff number.

Yeah, I can't remember specific examples but (like most things) I've seen it argued both ways.
Obviously, real life seems to be siding with the "just get me to the league and on my way to my second contract" theory.

in a world of logic, this would probably be true
there are 3 positions that can make a huge jump: QB, OT, and DE...and that was pretty much always true
it is still theoretically "worth it" for some of them to stay. it was never "worth it" for the late round guys to stay
