The Buffalo Bills have signed six of their eight draft picks, most recently second-round linebacker Kiko Alonso. Only first-round quarterback E.J. Manuel and second-round receiver Robert Woods remain without a deal. (photo: Neon Tommy, Flickr)

Fourth-round linebacker Jelani Jenkins is the Miami Dolphins' highest pick signed, with a defensive back and a kicker being the only other two under contract so far.

Safety Duron Harmon, the New England Patriots' second of two third-rounders, was the first drafted rookie to sign with the team.

As for the New York Jets, Gang Green has a crop of offensive big men signed, led by third-round guard Brian Winters and two other late-round lineman, as well as a fullback.

We'll toss up an occasional updated roundup as things progress and take a closer look at the first-rounders when they begin to sign.
