The Seahawks' signing of seventh-round choice Justin Forsett, announced today, means 15 teams have signed at least one 2008 selection.

Miami and Philadelphia have the fewest remaining unsigned picks (three apiece). The Dolphins have said they want all picks signed by July 1, an ambitious goal made easier by the pre-draft signing of No. 1 overall choice Jake Long. Cincinnati, Baltimore and Kansas City have the most unsigned picks (10 apiece).

Three of the top five overall choices are signed: Long, Atlanta's Matt Ryan and Oakland's Darren McFadden. St. Louis' John Greco, chosen 65th overall, is the next-highest pick to have signed. Six of the top 100 overall choices are signed, three by the Falcons (Ryan and third-rounders Chevis Jackson and Thomas DeCoud).

Number of signings by round go this way: First (three), second (none), third (three), fourth (nine) fifth (five), sixth (seven) and seventh (15).

Seattle Seahawks, Philadelphia Eagles, Miami Dolphins, Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs, Atlanta Falcons, St. Louis Rams, Oakland Raiders, Justin Forsett, Chevis Jackson, Thomas DeCoud, John Greco
