Draft Pick Signings

The 2018 NFL Draft isn't a month old and only 74 of the draft picks remain unsigned. The Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers, and Detroit Lions have signed their entire draft class. 11 teams have signed all but one pick. The Los Angeles Rams and Miami Dolphins are the outliers as neither team has signed a single draft pick. The Rams are always lagging behind the rest in this regard. They've made it team policy to sign all of their draft picks as a group after putting them through some enrichment lessons before they enrich them. That sounds like an excellent idea despite the unsettling vision of cattle that it creates.

Prior to the 2011 Collective Bargaining Agreement it would've taken much less time and space to list the draft picks that had signed by the middle of May. Here are the 74 draft picks that have yet to sign their first NFL contract.

The Minnesota Vikings stormed out of the pick signing gate when they had all but one of eight draft picks signed in the first week after the draft. The only unsigned pick is first round pick, cornerback Mike Hughes. Of course, many fans of the team are losing their minds thinking that something significant is holding up a deal. It's May. If I had to guess, I'd guess that Hughes signs in advance of the start of the Vikings' next OTAs, May 22.
