Undrafted free agency has been something of a gold mine for Jerry Reese and the New York Giants.
Beyond superstar receiver Victor Cruz, the Giants have pulled fullback Henry Hynoski, strong side linebacker Mark Herzlich, and defensive end Kerry Wynn from the pool of undrafted free agents. Ppre-season sensations Corey Washington, Marcus Harris, and Orleans Darkwa are undrafted free agents.
The Giants draft is in the books, so now it is time to look ahead at who might go undrafted. The Giants are making calls to potential free agents as we type. As of right now, the Giants only have two spots open for undrafted free agents, but they can make roster moves to open up more spots if there are free agent rookies that they like better.
Giants Draft Choices
Round 1) Ereck Flowers (OT, Miami)
Round 2) Landon Collins (S, Alabama)
Round 3) Owa Odighizuwa (DE, UCLA)
Round 5) Mykkele Thompson (FS, Texas)
Round 6) Geremy Davis (WR, UConn)
Round 7) Bobby Hart (OG, Florida State)
Free agents tend to look at teams' depth charts when making their decisions, so it makes sense to look at thin positions first when looking ahead at undrafted free agency.
Potential UDFAs
Rory "Busta" Anderson (TE, South Carolina)
Cameron Clear (TE, Texas A&M)
Durrell Eskridge (FS, Syracuse)
Cody Prewitt (FS, Ole Miss)
Derrick Lott (DT, Tennessee-Chattanooga)
Stay tuned, we'll be keeping this tracker updated as the UDFA frenzy unfolds

UDFA ILB Cole Farrand (Maryland) has agreed to a deal with the Giants, according to his reps.
(via Adam Caplan) Darren's is a 6-foot-3, 245-pound inside linebacker from Maryland. He isn't terribly athletic, but plays with consistent discipline and toughness, and is a reliable tackler.
Here is one more. Justin Currie is a safety from Western Michigan.

Several Canadian Football League players have accepted invites to the Giants' rookie mini-camp. per Sportsnet's Justin Dunk. They are offensive linemen Jacob Ruby, Sukh Chungh and Sean McEwen, along with linebacker Byron Archambeault.
Tulane offensive tackle Sean Donnally will sign with the Giants. Donnally is a 6-8, 297-pound tackle who wins with quick feet and an understanding of angles. As you can guess by his weight, Donnally needs to spend some time in the weight room and get stronger. However, he has intriguing upside.
Rutgers quarterback Gary Nova will reportedly be at the team's rookie mini-camp.
Just hung up w officially Giants bound Gary Nova. Is he excited? "Just motivated honestly. And grateful for opportunity."
