One thing about the draft is teams can take chances on first round picks because if they don’t sign, the team gets it compensated back, teams can’t and won’t draft a player in the 2nd round they think could stay in school.

0.00

Less than 0%

To add to that, teams basically have a verbal agreement now before they make the pick

They will call multiple players, ask them if they pick them, would they take this much signing bonus, and then the team makes a decision based on what they said

This is what happened with the signee Cairo. He gets his call and they offer him double the slot value for that pick (was 400k, they asked if he'd sign for 900k, said yes, they picked him, he said goodbye to Mainieri, twitter freaks out after taking Mainieri quotes out of context)

There is still negotiating to be done of course. Teams will go lower if something comes up on medical for example

None....
