seems like fully guaranteed is becoming the standard for those players with high ceilings

Aren't all rookie contracts fully guaranteed for first rounders?

If they are cut or otherwise can't perform I believe all they get is the signing bonus and what they can negotiate.  Don't believe full guarantee is in the CBA anywhere.

1. Cine, 22, was the last of the record-setting five Georgia Bulldogs defenders drafted in the first round on Thursday night. He earned second-team All-SEC honors as the leading tackler and pass deflector for the eventual national champions. As an aggressive hitter, Cine had 73 tackles, nine deflections and an interception in 15 starts last season.
2. Cine, listed at 6-2 and 199 pounds, was named the Defensive MVP after the Bulldogs' 33-18 victory over Alabama in the national championship game. He had seven tackles (one for a loss) and a pass deflection while the Bulldogs defense held the Crimson Tide to 18 points.
3. Cine's remarkable talents showed on the field at Georgia and during pre-draft workout testing. He needed just 4.37 seconds to run 40 yards at the NFL Scouting Combine, which ranked fifth among all safeties. His explosiveness showed in the broad jump, in which he led all safeties with a mark of 133 inches (11 feet 1 inch).
4. Cine helped lead Trinity Christian High School in Cedar Hill, Texas, to a state title in 2018, his first year after transferring from Everett High School just north of Boston. At Trinity, Cine was coached by Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders and played with Sanders' sons, Shilo and Shedeur. Cine was also a standout player at Everett, where he was named Massachusetts Defensive Player of the Year in 2017, when his team won a state title.
5. Cine was born in Haiti, where he lived until he was 4 years old before moving to Florida. He has a 5-year-old daughter named Bella. He wore the number 16 at Georgia, telling reporters he did so to honor his mother, Beatrice, who had him when she was 16 years old.

Last year, the NFL Draft's top 28 picks signed fully guaranteed, four-year rookie contracts.
On Wednesday, Vikings rookie safety Lewis Cine became the first player selected with the final pick in the first round — 32nd overall — to get a fully guaranteed deal. He agreed to terms on a four-year contract worth nearly $11.5 million, according to Roc Nation Sports agent Charles Fisher. Nearly half of that, or about $5.5 million, comes in a signing bonus.
Cine, the former Georgia safety, is the first Vikings draft pick to agree to terms on his contract ahead of the first practice at this weekend's rookie minicamp. He's the ninth 2022 first-round pick to get his contract wrapped up.
Draft classes get signed quickly since the 2011 collective bargaining agreement slotted the total value of rookie deals based on draft position, making all NFL rookie contracts largely boilerplate four-year deals. First-round picks, like Cine, get fifth-year team options.
There are still negotiations based on the total guaranteed money, which has increased to full guarantees for nearly all first-round selection; offset contract language (if a player is released and signs with a new team, previous guarantees can be offset by what that player earns from his new team); signing bonus payment terms; and how or whether guarantees can be voided due to off-field or on-field conduct.
