The Giants got the first of their draft picks under contract yesterday, signing defensive end Robert Henderson of Southern Mississippi.
Henderson was the second of the team's picks in the sixth round. Contract terms were not immediately available.
The Super Bowl champions also acquired wide receiver-returner Craphonso Thorpe on waivers and waived defensive back Miguel Scott.
Henderson played in 46 games at Southern Mississippi with 173 career tackles and 131/2 sacks.
Thorpe was waived by the Jaguars earlier this week. He played five games last season for the Colts, catching 12 passes for 70 yards and a touchdown while averaging 21.2 yards on kickoff returns.
