The Packers have just one unsigned draft pick left from their 2013 draft class.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that running back Eddie Lacy has agreed to terms on a contract with the team. Lacy, who was selected 61st overall in the second round, is expected to battle fourth-round pick Johnathan Franklin, DuJuan Harris and Alex Green for carries in the Packers backfield.

His chances of winning that battle will likely have something to do with the condition of his right big toe. Lacy had surgery on it in college and some teams felt that the injury would keep him from reaching great heights in the NFL. The Packers obviously disagree and the University of Alabama doctor said Lacy should not be compromised by the toe, leaving a debate that will be settled by Lacy’s performance in the years to come.

With Lacy signed, the Packers have only first-round defensive lineman Datone Jones left to sign. Jones joins the three Vikings first-round picks as the only NFC North draftees still unsigned.
