Detroit Lions ink first-round pick Jack Campbell; 3 rookies still unsigned

One by one, the Detroit Lions are getting all of their draft picks under contract.

The Lions signed linebacker Jack Campbell, their second of two first-round picks, to a standard four-year contract Tuesday, the fifth member of their eight-player draft class to finalize his deal.

As the 18th pick of the first round, Campbell's contract is worth $14.722 million and includes a signing bonus of $7,706,912, according to Spotrac.

The Lions made Campbell a surprise pick in the first round last month, though he is expected to play a significant role on defense this fall.
