The Carolina Panthers have signed their first two draft picks, striking deals with sixth-round selection David Gettis and seventh-round choice R.J. Stanford.

The 6-foot-3 Gettis is a receiver from Baylor who is expected to contend for a reserve spot and a role on special teams.

The 5-foot-10 Stanford is a cornerback from Utah. He will compete for a job behind starters Chris Gamble and Richard Marshall and nickel back Captain Munnerlyn.

Tuesday's deals leave the Panthers with eight unsigned rookie picks, including quarterback Jimmy Clausen - a second-round selection. The Panthers didn't have a first-round pick in April's draft.
