The earlier in the draft you pick a college guy, the less risk there is of him waiting the 4 years to get his free agent status. Fox was a 3rd rounder and no where near ready to go pro, plus he was an ivy leaguer. A lot easier for a guy like him to wait his 4 years, or at least say he's going to wait his 4 years than for a guy who is getting picked in the top 10 or 15 and will want to get a pro contract signed sooner rather than later.
