Steelers Getting Draft Picks Signed Early

We’re still a month away from training camp, but Pittsburgh is almost finished with signing all of their draft picks. Tight end David Johnson, the team’s seventh-round pick, signed on Friday, making him the seventh of the team’s nine picks to sign.
The only two rookies left unsigned are the two the Steelers most need in training camp. First-round pick Evander Hood, who is expected to be the team’s No. 3 defensive end, and third-round pick Kraig Urbik, who is expected to battle for a starting job at offensive guard, are still unsigned, although with a month to work out those deals, it shouldn’t be that hard to get the deals worked out.
Pittsburgh hasn’t had a first-round pick miss any of training camp since Ben Roethlisberger missed a couple of days in 2004, so it’s a pretty safe bet that Hood and Urbik will both be signed before camp starts this year.
