Draft Pick Signings Update

This is the last weekend before all 32 teams will have kicked off their training camps. Unlike the frustrating draft pick signing days before the 2011 CBA, nearly all of the 254 picks in the 2019 NFL Draft are signed.

Only eight draft picks are unsigned.

Those eight unsigned draft picks break down like this:

4 first round picks
1 second round pick
2 third round picks
1 seventh round pick

A 7th-rounder? There's a perfectly good explanation for that.

There are only six teams with unsigned picks.

Here's how the four unsigned first round picks stand in the grand scheme of the entire first round:

1.   Arizona Cardinals-Kyler Murray, QB, Oklahoma-Signed
2.   San Francisco 49ers-Nick Bosa, DE, Ohio State
3.   New York Jets-Quinnen Williams, DT, Alabama
4.   Oakland Raiders-Clelin Ferrell, DE, Clemson-Signed
5.   Tampa Bay Buccaneers-Devin White, LB, LSU-Signed
6.   New York Giants-Daniel Jones, QB, Duke
7.   Jacksonville Jaguars-Josh Allen, LB, Kentucky-Signed
8.   Detroit Lions-T.J. Hockenson, TE, Iowa-Signed
9.   Buffalo Bills-Ed Oliver, DT, Houston-Signed
10. Pittsburgh Steelers-Devin Bush, LB, Michigan-Signed
11. Cincinnati Bengals-Jonah Williams, OT, Alabama-Signed
12. Green Bay Packers-Rashan Gary, Edge, Michigan-Signed
13. Miami Dolphins-Christian Wilkins, DT, Clemson-Signed
14. Atlanta Falcons-Chris Lindstron, G, Boston College-Signed
15. Washington Redskins-Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio State-Signed
16. Carolina Panthers-Brian Burns, Edge, Florida State
17. New York Giants-Dexter Lawrence, DT, Clemson-Signed
18. Minnesota Vikings-Garrett Bradbury, C, N. C. State-Signed
19. Tennessee Titans-Jeffery Simmons, DT, Mississippi State-Signed
20. Denver Broncos-Noah Fant, TE, Iowa-Signed
21. Green Bay Packers-Darnell Savage, S, Maryland-Signed
22. Philadelphia Eagles-Andre Dillard, OT, Washington State-Signed
23. Houston Texans-Tytus Howard, OT, Alabama State-Signed
24. Oakland Raiders-Josh Jacobs, RB, Alabama-Signed
25. Baltimore Ravens-Marquise Brown, WR, Oklahoma-Signed
26. Washington Redskins-Montez Sweat, DE, Mississippi State-Signed
27. Oakland Raiders-Johnathan Abram, S, Mississippi State-Signed
28. Los Angeles Chargers-Jerry Tillery, DT, Notre Dame-Signed
29. Seattle Seahawks-L.J. Collier, DE, TCU-Signed
30. New York Giants-Deandre Baker, CB, Georgia-Signed
31. Atlanta Falcons-Kaleb McGary, OT, Washington-Signed
32. New England Patriots-N'Keal Harry, WR, Arizona State-Signed

Here's how the eight unsigned picks break down by team.

Minnesota Vikings: 11/12 signed
Only unsigned pick:
7. Austin Cutting, LS, Air Force

The only reason that Austin Cutting wasn't signed two months was because of his service commitment to the Air Force.  He has finally been cleared by the military to play in the NFL. It's being reported that he will sign his four-year rookie deal when he reports to training camp tomorrow.

New York Giants: 8/10 signed
Unsigned picks:
1. Daniel Jones, QB, Duke
3. Oshane Ximines, DE, Old Dominion

Carolina Panthers: 6/7 signed
Unsigned pick:
1. Brian Burns, DE, Florida State

San Francisco 49ers: 6/8 signed
Unsigned picks:
1. Nick Bosa, DE, Ohio State
2. Deebo Samuel, WR, South Carolina

Baltimore Ravens: 7/8 signed
Unsigned pick:
3. Miles Boykin, WR, Notre Dame

New York Jets: 5/6 signed
Unsigned pick:
1. Quinnen Williams, DT, Alabama

Of the eight, only the AFC guys (Quinnen Williams and Miles Boykin) are currently holdouts. The clock is ticking on the other six. As with the Buccaneers and Devin White agreeing to a deal yesterday and Cutting and the Vikings only waiting to put pen to paper tomorrow, I'm guessing that most of the remaining six will get something done before their respective training camps open. If the Joey Bosa-Chargers negotiations of 2016 are a precedent, the Nick Bosa-49ers situation is the one to watch.
