- Jaishawn Barham (third round, linebacker)
- Drew Shelton (fourth round, tackle)
- Devin Moore (fourth round, cornerback)
- LT Overton (fourth round, edge rusher)
- Anthony Smith (seventh round, wide receiver)
The team has now finalized contracts with six of its seven draft picks from this year’s class. The remaining unsigned player, Malachi Lawrence, is expected to reach an agreement in the coming days.
