Central Scouting just bumped him down to their 7th ranked European prospect.
Every year there is one or two defensemen that seem to take a bit of a free fall in the rankings. Liljegren might be one of those defensemen this year. He hasn't played much, so if he does play more in the second half here and play well he could very well regain his top 5 spot, but as it stands I think other players have just pushed him out of the way.
I think defensemen are almost becoming like goaltenders in the 1st round, it is harder to predict what they will be like in the NHL and it takes longer for them to reach their full potential so teams are shying away from them in the 1st round more and more. At least that is my view on it, I could be way off.
