-- The Patriots have reached an agreement with first-round draft pick Devin McCourty today, according to multiple news outlets.

McCourty will report to Foxboro today, three days after he was due to report with the rest of the rookies, to sign his deal. The Patriots have now reached an agreement with all of their rookies.

McCourty, the 27th overall pick, is just the second of the 32 first-round draft choices to sign, with Dallas' Dez Bryant being the other. The Patriots are now the fourth team to have all of their picks signed, joining Carolina, Chicago and Dallas.

The NFL's labor strife and threat of a lockout has slowed down the pace of negotiations league wide.
