The 2012 NFL Draft is over, and the undrafted free agent signing frenzy is in full swing. Here is the list of reported signings by the New York Giants -- via NFL.com -- as of 7 a.m. ET Sunday morning.

Matt Broha, DE, Louisiana Tech [Scouting Report]
David Douglas, WR, Arizona [Scouting Report]
Janzen Jackson, S, McNeese State
Joe Martinkek, RB, Rutgers [Scouting Report]
Jojo Nicolas, S, Miami [Scouting Report]
Adewale Ojomo, DE, Miami [Scouting Report]
Julian Talley, WR, UMass [Scouting Report]

Star-divide

Martinek, the local kid from Rutgers, will of course draw interest. Here is Giants' Director of College Scouting Marc Ross talking about Martinek:

"We had him at the local day," Ross said. "We've been to tons of Rutgers games. He's just a gritty, hard-nosed football player. He's played fullback, he's played running back, done whatever they asked. He worked out really well. Can really catch the ball. A guy you can throw in at any position there in the backfield and he'll not miss a beat."

Being from UMass Talley will -- of course -- draw plenty of comparisons to the last UDFA wide receiver the Giants took from that school --Victor Cruz.

We will try to keep you updated throughout the day. If you hear of signings please drop them into the comments. Be aware, though, there is a lot of misinformation floating around about the UDFAs.
