49ers training camp begins today with physical examinations and meetings with coaches, but for now the team is taking care of business and getting their draft picks locked up. After locking up Daniel Kilgore and Bruce Miller yesterday followed by Chris Culliver and Ronald Johnson today , the 49ers have added the rest of their players. Aldon SmithColin Kaepernick, Kendall Hunter Curtis Holcomb, Colin Jones, and Michael Person have all  stable (per MaioccoBarrows49ersPR). 

Head after the jump to view the rookie wage scale figures per MM.

OL Mike Person
First-year allocation: 386,475

Hunter, Jones, Person and Holcomb all fall into the category of players that can earn additional fourth year month through the Proven Performance Escalator, which can raise the last year's salary to the right-of-first-refusal amount that year. Of those four I'd imagine Hunter is probably the most likely to reach the 35% playing time figure. For Colin Jones, he will spend most of his time on special teams so I'm curious if that will be sufficient to get him to the number.

We'll have plenty more on the 49ers draft picks in the coming days and weeks.
