It doesn't appear to be much of a factor since NIL was implemented.
But even if NIL was, it's a scout's job to find out before the draft what a kid and his family are willing to sign for.
If a guy gets drafted high, a team has good reason to believe the player is going to sign for X amount. At that point, NIL is not a factor.
Usually, if there's a breakdown in the negotiations after the pick has been made, it's due to a medical reason and the team backtracks on its signing bonus figure.
