The draft cap for slotted picks in the first round has been increased from 133 million to 200 million (133 was what the total was for slot recommended contracts for all the picks in the top 10 rounds)
Based off the upgraded slot recommendations, only 6 teams would've been over by more than 15% (losing two 1sts) so it's not quite as bad as originally thought (20 teams would've been over had the figures been at 133 mil instead)
So compensation will be decreased by a bit, but not a huge amount. All teams spent 231 million in the first 10 rounds last year, so a 31 mil decrease isn't that huge.
