Many teams will set the framework for a deal with a player before the draft, but only the number 1 pick can sign first. Basically, the team says "If we select you at this spot, we will provide 'X'", and the player and agents agree. There is no guarantee the player will be picked, because no one knows for sure if the player will be available - unless you are the first pick, when everyone is available.
