Lions Coach Waiting Patiently For First-Round Picks To Sign
Before the Lions' top two rookie draft picks can play the game of football, there's another game that has to be played.
And it's one head coach Jim Schwartz will continue to watch -- patiently, for the moment -- as the front office continues to negotiate contracts for first-round selections Ndamukong Suh and Jahvid Best.
Both players remain unsigned, but they had plenty of company as only five of the 32 first-round picks came to terms as of Thursday afternoon. The Lions' reporting deadline for training camp is at 6 p.m. Friday, though the first practice isn't until Saturday afternoon.
