Those lists and publications are really just parroting each other, especially when you get outside the top couple picks. I wouldn't put too much thought into it. What really matters is what the scouts and teams do on the day.
If they were parroting each other they would all have the same #6 pick.
The numbers prove that is where a big variance begins.
Of course it is likely that someone outside of that top 5 gets picked higher, or ends up a better player, that is entirely beside the point.
The point is that there is a consensus top 5, and after that there is a much larger variety of opinion.
It's not rocket science.
