Title: Anyone know of a website...

...that shows which number one draft picks have signed. I am tired, so I didn't look very hard, but I couldn't find one. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Here's a good one...

http://www.theredzone.org/firstroundstatus.asp

It lists the signings and also the contract details. This should be what you need.

The site mentioned above is okay, but "unofficial" and secondary! Why not get your info (of this kind) from the source, one that is available, by the way, by way of "the Gridiron Newsstand", actually, [smiley=awwgee.gif] and, at any rate, kept more up-to-date? ...

http://nfl.com/rookies/story/6367275.

You will see that this page includes about three MORE signings than the other one posted as well as very useful links to the "ultimate" primary sources, the local dailies covering the teams, which are the original suppliers of the stories/terms of the contracts (and also available on "the Gridiron Newsstand"). So, over and above the site mentioned above, NFL.com provides you with a MUCH more complete and comprehensive source for this.

An addendum to this, I must admit that I located this page by way of my old employer FootballInsider.com (http://www.footballinsider.com). It is a HORRIFIC-looking site anymore, though. [smiley=nono.gif] I, obviously, do not mind "c o l o r F U L L " web pages with neat graphics, as long as they basically go together and the presentation is ORGANIZED. But, the organization and contrast of colors and graphics over at FI are just BRUTAL these days, so much so that it gives even me a headache and dizzy feeling. [smiley=sick.gif] [smiley=no.gif] So, if you visit, have a bottle of Tylenol at your side. [smiley=yes.gif] In any case, the link to this page is a fuchsia-colored link toward the top of the right column of the table on the left under the heading "IMPORTANT OFF-SEASON DATA". Oh, I'm dizzy,... really! [smiley=threed.gif] [smiley=stars.gif] I can't bare to look at it anymore! Again, ultimately, it is just a link to that very informational page at NFL.com.

I guess since I work with some of the contract advisors, I kind of like theredzone.org to see who is working the deals for which players - just a personal preference.

Anyway, that FootballInsider.com site is horrendous. If I don't like looking at a site, I won't stick around no matter how pertinent the info may be. The colors and the number of links on that page are intolerable.
