Nobody is "sliding" on boards right now - unless something legal or medical surfaces (which the medical wouldn't)
The up/down stuff is all media created. Teams know how they have their boards stacked at this point. A guy may go much lower than expected simply because a team he was a good fit for didn't end up taking him.
I had a chance to talk to a guy I went to high school with that was a GM in the league recently and he laughed at the notion that guys were sliding. Guys will move up and go earlier simply because of the way the board falls on draft night (an early run on a position)
