If your draft position can't really be impacted by a good combine performance, there's no harm in skipping. If he's not going #4 to Arizona the Chargers will have half the league call for the #5 pick.
That said, "top 10 lock" doesn't help that much. The #5 pick makes >50% more than the #10 pick over the course of the rookie contract, that's a difference of more than $10 million. So for someone like Odunze or Nabers who compete for the #2 WR spot, skipping doesn't make much sense even though the second of them might still go in the top 10.
