The New York Giants made a somewhat surprising move last week in selecting CB Sam Beal out of Western Michigan in the third round of the supplemental draft. Beal signed his rookie contract yesterday, less than a week after being drafted.
He was available in the supplemental draft due to academic ineligibility for next year; Beal is only the third player ever selected by the Giants in the supplemental draft and the first player since Tito Wooten in 1994.
Was Beal worth a third-round pick from the New York Giants?
The Western Michigan product is a highly touted prospect and was projected to be one of the top corners in next year’s draft, so sacrificing 2019’s third round pick can prove to be an absolute steal.
