Unsigned Picks

With only about a week before the opening of training camps, nineteen first round picks are still unsigned. Only three of the top-10 picks are signed. The signings started fast after the draft but they have really slowed to a trickle in the last few weeks. A week is still plenty of time but teams and agents have to get this done. Especially the Minnesota Vikings. They have three first round picks to sign. No one benefits from a holdout.

Here's how the first round stands from a signing standpoint:

1. Eric Fisher-Chiefs unsigned
2. Luke Joeckel-Jaguars signed
3. Dion Jordan-Dolphins unsigned
4. Lane Johnson-Eagles unsigned
5. Ezkiel Ansah-Lions signed
6. Barkevious Mingo-Browns unsigned
7. Jonathan Cooper-Cardinals unsigned
8. Tavon Austin-Rams signed
9. Dee Milliner-Jets unsigned
10. Chance Warmack-Titans unsigned
11. D.J. Fluker-Chargers signed
12. D.J. Hayden-Raiders unsigned
13. Sheldon Rochardson-Jets unsigned
14. Star Lotulelei-Panthers signed
15. Kenny Vaccaro-Saints signed
16. EJ Manuel-Bills signed
17. Jarvis Jones-Steelers signed
18. Eric Reid-49ers signed
19. Justin Pugh-Giants unsigned
20. Kyle Long-Bears signed
21. Tyler Eifert-Bengals signed
22. Desmond Trufant-Falcons unsigned
23. Sharrif Floyd-Vikings unsigned
24. Bjoern Werner-Colts unsigned
25. Xavier Rhodes-Vikings unsigned
26. Datone Jones-Packers unsigned
27. DeAndre Hopkins-Texans unsigned
28. Sylvester Williams-Broncos unsigned
29. Cordarrelle Patterson-Vikings unsigned
30. Alec Ogletree-Rams signed
31. Travis Frederick-Cowboys signed
32. Matt Elam-Ravens unsigned

When there was a run on signings of players from the middle of the first round, I hoped that it would carry into the 20s. #23, #25, and #29 in particular. One of the more remarkable signing feats this year was the one carried out by the St. Louis Rams. They were the last team to sign any picks. Then, they were done. It was actually kind of stunning. I expect most of the nineteen unsigned first round picks to be signed by next week.
