The Ravens continue to make quick work of signing their draft picks, agreeing to a three-year deal with third-round selection Lardarius Webb.

The cornerback from Nicholls State received a signing bonus of about $530,000.

"Lardarius was slowed some in the [organized team activities] with a hamstring problem, but toward the end, when he was feeling better, he showed he belonged," coach John Harbaugh said in a statement. "He'll help us on special teams, including as a gunner, and he'll contribute to our defense."

The Ravens' only unsigned draft picks are offensive tackle Michael Oher (first round) and defensive end-linebacker Paul Kruger (second round).

Historically, the Ravens have not begun contract talks with their draft picks until after the July 4 holiday. But the team has struck deals with Webb, linebacker Jason Phillips (fifth round), tight end Davon Drew (fifth round) and running back Cedric Peerman (sixth round).
