Teams wait until the last minute to do this stuff all the time. Even last year people debated up until the last minute over who the #1 pick was going to be. Usually nobody knows until the time the pick is called.
Because it's logic, as pointed out by former GM's (multiple ones at that). There is no reason to hide Garrett being number 1 if he isn't #1, there is nothing to gain, if anything it allows teams to make big offers for him if they want him. If there was no decision to be made then it wouldn't be a discussion, but multiple sources from multiple outlets reporting make think it;s true. They may take Garrett in the end, but to act like it's not in question is just as naive as believing the reports based on your logic.
Last year it was leaked Goff was the pick around the 20th/21st a full week out from the draft. Obviously it wasn't set in stone but most were confident to report it. We knew Winston was the pick a few days out that year as well. It really isn't that well kept a secret.
