I happened across this article which shows the signings in the 1st round.
Basically, the signed guy above him and below him have a difference of over 20 mill in contract over 5 years.
Heyward-Bey at 7 is signed for 5 years, 38.25mill with 23.5 mill guaranteed
Orakpo at 13, is signed for 5 years, 15.4 mill, and 10.16 guaranteed
Thats a 22.85 mill gap (13.4 for gauranteed money).
The question is then where in the hell does Maybin fit and what should he get?
If you do the math, and use the above contracts as your bracket, your looking at 3.8 mill less for each pick after Heyward Bey.
That would mean Maybin should be at 3.8 * 4 = 15.23, and then 38.25-15.23 = 23.02 for 5 years.
I just see that with such a huge difference in contract between the guy above him that's signed and the guy below him, that there is still a ton left to negotiate.
Add in the Crabtree factor with his ridiculous demands and we could be looking at a long holdout.
