Offensive tackle Sam Baker, a rookie from USC taken with the 21st pick in the April draft, agreed to terms of a contract with the Falcons on Friday night.
Baker's deal means all of the Falcons' draft picks are signed and will be with the team when training camp begins Saturday with an 8:30 a.m. workout.
"We are really excited to have everyone in camp on time," coach Mike Smith said.
While terms of the contract were not announced by the Falcons, last season's 21st pick, safety Reggie Nelson, signed a five-year deal worth $9.55 million with Jacksonville.
The Falcons traded with Washington to move up to acquire the 21st pick to allow them to pick Baker. While at USC, he was a three-time first-team All-American.
