Giants surrender 2019 third-round pick to take Sam Beal in supplemental draft

The New York Giants gave up their third-round pick in the 2019 NFL draft by taking Western Michigan cornerback Sam Beal in the supplemental draft Wednesday.

Beal, who was taken with the second pick in the third round Wednesday, is the highest-drafted player in the supplemental draft since wide receiver Josh Gordon went in the second round in 2012.

The only other player taken in year's supplemental draft was Virginia Tech cornerback Adonis Alexander, who was selected by the Washington Redskins in the sixth round.

Beal, 21, declared for the draft this spring because his academic eligibility was up in the air.
