The Dallas Cowboys wasted no time getting their 2017 NFL Draft picks on the books.

After reportedly signing first-round pick Taco Charlton, the club went back to work inking seven of their remaining eight draft picks on Thursday. Per ESPN insider Todd Archer, only one rookie deal remains outstanding -- that of former third-round selection Jourdan Lewis (CB).

While the official financial details have yet to be released on the contracts, the NFL rookie wage scale gives a good indication of what they'll look like. According to estimates by Overthecap.com -- which bases its scale on the aforementioned -- the breakdown per player is as follows (keeping in mind each contract has an initial four-year term, with Charlton's having an exercisable fifth-year option for 2021):

Archer goes on to note there are no definitive concerns regarding signing Lewis, citing the hangup as a business-as-usual approach when it comes to onboarding a third round pick.

There are no issues as to why third rounder Jourdan Lewis has not signed with the Cowboys other than normal negotiating. League-wide third round picks are slower to sign because of guaranteed money and other contractual issues. A year ago the Cowboys had all of their draft picks signed by the end of May with the exception of Maliek Collins, their third rounder. He did not sign until July 14, 2016.

The delay on Lewis is not related to his pending domestic violence case, but is more so attributable to the current CBA which houses an abnormality that allows [more] negotiation for a third-round selection -- versus the cookie-cutter contract workings of the six other rounds.

As it stands, the rookie deals (sans Lewis) amount to a projected $5.635M against the current cap -- while the team has also yet to put any of their 14 UDFA's on paper. Considering at no time is an NFL team allowed to go over their cap allotment, the Cowboys definitely have their work cut out for them if they want to hang on to every new prospect they've brought into Frisco.

With the retirement of offensive tackle Doug Free, the Cowboys will get a credit of $5M that'll combine with an additional $14M to come post-June 1 from the release of veteran quarterback Tony Romo. They'll likely still make a roster move or several in the next few weeks, however, as they prepare for what should be a kitchen-sink deal thrown in the direction of All-Pro guard Zack Martin.

With nearly all of this year's draft picks now officially a member of the team, the fight to earn the Star begins on May 12 when rookie minicamp fires up.

Game on.
