Colts Sign 9-of-11 2018 Draft Picks

The Indianapolis Colts announced on Friday morning that they have signed nine of their 11 picks from the 2018 NFL Draft:

OG Quenton Nelson (1-6), DE Kemoko Turay (2-52), DL Tyquan Lewis (2-64), RB Nyheim Hines (4-104), WR Daurice Fountain (5-159), RB Jordan Wilkins (5-169), WR Deon Cain (6-185), LB Matthew Adams (7-221) and LB Zaire Franklin (7-235).

The only draft picks left yet to sign are second round picks LB Darius Leonard (2-36) and OG Braden Smith (2-37). The two were picked back-to-back in the second round — perhaps there is something related to that which is tying up the process.

The Colts’ rookies are in town this weekend for their very first rookie minicamp. The players got in yesterday to get fitted for equipment, take photos, probably take physicals and any other logistics to be taken care of before starting workouts in the weight room and on the field.

We’ll update you once Leonard and Smith sign, which should be soon considering everyone is now in the building.
