The Colts have locked up their fourth of five draft picks, signing offensive lineman Jack Mewhort to his rookie deal, according to agent Mike McCartney (via Twitter). Although Mewhort was the first player selected by Indianapolis, the club won’t hold a fifth-year option on the Ohio State product, since he was a second-round pick.
With Mewhort signed, the only remaining draftee who still needs to ink his contract with the Colts is third-round wide receiver Donte Moncrief. As for Mewhort, the 59th overall pick in 2014 will be in line for a signing bonus worth around $919K, while the total base value of his four-year deal should be about $3.574MM.
