From BA:

 

The vast majority of the top players left are high school prospects who have fallen because of signability concerns. Many of them will likely be taken in rounds 11-20 on day three. The format of the draft under the new collective bargaining agreement gives teams plenty of reasons to wait until the 11th round and beyond to take these players. If they are drafted in the top 10 rounds and they opt to head to college, the team loses from its signing pool the money that had been allocated for their pick. Those restrictions do not apply after the 10th round, so while failing to sign the last pick of the 10th round would cost the drafting team $135,500 from its bonus pool, failing to sign an 11th round pick will cost the team nothing.
