do 4th rd picks usually get 4 yr deals? or does that show they like what they've seen so far?

In the past five years, more and more teams have switched from three- to four-year contracts for all draft picks below the second round. Any term longer than four years was outlawed by the 2006 extension of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, restricting all contracts below the first round to four years. As a result, almost all teams except a couple of holdouts now negotiate four-year contracts (interestingly, the two Super Bowl participants, Arizona and Pittsburgh, still do three-year deals in the lower rounds; maybe theres something to that).
I'm not even talking about the details of the deal. I know he'll include that when it's available. It's the writing sometimes that just kills me. Your post is more along the lines of what I would expect from a "professional sports writer" is that really too much to ask? I guess so.
Back to work. had to rant.
DUDE! When I read it, it said 5th! You mean somebody corrected it and it's STILL wrong?!?!

Glover Quinn Profile
The Houston Texans have signed the first of their two fourth-round draft picks, CB Glover Quin, the team announced on Friday.
According to a league source, the former University of New Mexico defensive back signed a four-year deal worth $2.24 million. The deal also includes a signing bonus of roughly $490,000.
Quin, a Mississippi native, played in 36 career games, starting 34 for the Lobos. He earned consensus first team all-Mountain West Conference honors as a senior. He finished his career with 156 tackles, a school record 32 pass break-ups and seven interceptions.
Quin was voted most valuable player by his teammates last season, the first defensive back to earn the honor since Brian Urlacher in 1999. As a senior he led the Mountain West Conference with a career-high five interceptions and ranked first in the league with 16 passes defensed.
Quin began his collegiate career at Southwest Mississippi Community College, posting 40 tackles, eight deflections, two interceptions and one touchdown in his lone season of play in 2005. He attended North Pike High School in Summit, Mississippi finishing as a four-year letterman in football and basketball. He was the Jaguar's team MVP in both sports as a senior. He totaled 2,552 rushing yards, 224 tackles and 13 interceptions in his prep career.
Quinn will compete for playing time this season against young cornerbacks such as rookie Brice McCain, Antwaun Molden, and Fred Bennett.
