The Cleveland Browns announced Friday that they’ve signed five draft picks to rookie contracts ahead of their rookie minicamp including Zak Zinter, Jamari Thrash, Nathaniel Watson, Myles Harden and Jowon Briggs.
This leaves just second-round DL Michael Hall Jr as the only unsigned draft pick:

| 5 | Jamari Thrash | WR | Signed |
