One of the last teams to bother with the formality of signing draft picks, the Broncos got busy on the first business day of June by finalizing four-year contracts with second-round receiver Cody Latimer, sixth-round center Matt Paradis and seventh-round linebacker Corey Nelson.
The Broncos and St. Louis Rams were the only two NFL teams who had yet to sign a draft pick through Sunday. There is no hurry, though, because since the most dramatic change in the 2011 collective bargaining agreement, all draft picks are pretty much slotted into contracts.
For instance, Latimer as the 24th player selected in the second round should receive roughly the $965,000 signing bonus and four-year, $3.6 million contract that Baltimore linebacker Arthur Brown received from the same draft slot last year.
