Browns sign all five draft picks

The Browns will have their entire rookie class under contract when they begin training camp on Wednesday.
The club announced Tuesday that it had signed its five-member rookie class to four-year contracts. Fourth-round picks Beau Bell, a linebacker from UNLV, and TE Martin Rucker, a tight end from Missouri, are expected to be key reserves as rookies. NT Ahytba Rubin and WR Paul Hubbard, both sixth-round picks, will compete to make the club, as will seventh-round pick Alex Hall, a linebacker from St. Augustine.
The Browns did not have selections in Rounds One through Three because of trades that netted QB Brady Quinn and DLs Shaun Rogers and Corey Williams. It's worth noting that Cleveland traded a 2009 third-round pick to get Rucker and an '09 fifth-rounder to select Hubbard.
