I believe the league has essentially asked teams to quit doing it as to not impact viewership and leave at least some bit of suspense in #1 overall. The reason they used to do it was the #1 deal had to be negotiated and it took a pretty long time to get done, however with the rookie wage scale it is pretty standard what #1 will make.
what I figured, all because of money!
