From reading Gil Brandt's scouting report to speaking to several talent evaluators throughout the NFL, Sam Beal is apparently a 1st round level talent and is a complete steal for the Giants. He'll be a HUGE asset for the Giants moving forward and has NONE of the red flags other former supplemental picks have had. May quickly establish himself ahead of Apple on the depth chart throughout the season and perhaps even Jenkins depending if his play is impacted by off the field issues. Amazingly savvy pick by Dave Gettleman for what should soon become a household name.

a very solid prospect, but let's not go overboard.
Lets hope he pans out I like the size a little on the thin
size I wonder what his 40 is ...
He's had no offseason conditioning program, no OTA's, and no mini-camps. He will start training camp way, way behind.
Beal will likely be inactive on game days for much of the season.
Barkley and nice player were put in the same sentence?

I think he ran 4.47 ... maybe on his pro day.

Ugh your whole post is moronic. He is going to be pretty high on depth chart, possibly the 3rd corner. You don't spend a 3rd round pick on first round talent THIS YEAR and have him ride the bench.

Don’t think it’s a mistake.
Beal unlikely to have much of impact this year. Some teams had concerns about both shoulders. 2nd round currency not to be spent lightly.
I'm hoping for the best, but this isn't an elite prospect, more hopefully a nice red-chipper. I'm thinking less Deion Sanders and more Terrell Thomas as his best-case scenario.

If our depth at corner didn't suck right now, I would certainly agree. I don't think there is any reason he couldn't get to 4th possibly 5th on the depth chart.

If he becomes a healthy Terrell Thomas or a Corey Webster type then I will be very happy with that outcome.

Me too. That's absolutely what I'm hoping for.
Not even Revis could make that claim in his rookie year.

He's not "first round talent." He was taken in the 3rd round of the supplemental draft. That's what he is.
^This. It's a great move by Gettleman and the FO, but he's still just a rookie whose behind everyone. I'm hoping we get some flashes from him as the season progresses, but he's really for depth right now. He needs to add weight, and acclimate himself to the NFL.

We can't say that hes not a 1st round talent. More than likely a 2nd rounder, but he was supposed to go back to school this year. Academics are why he is in the supplemental draft this year. If he went back to school and excelled this coming season, there is a chance he could have worked himself into a late 1st round early 2nd round pick.
So how many potential rookies contributors?
6!
1000%

To (loosely) quote Dave Gettleman "We got our 2019 third round pick a year early".
From THAT perspective you could argue that instead of the negative of missing the spring, the positive is that Sam will have a full summer camp, preseason games and the full 2018 season to learn. He will be WAY ahead of any other 2019 3rd rounder.
I don't look for him to be a starter, but I doubt he will be inactive for many games.
In addition, as someone else ausuteley recognised, what would have been our ACTUAL 2019 pick hopefully will be a lot later than this year's #66.
BUT HE IS NOT WAY BEHIND FOR A 2019 PICK.
And the 3rd round, even if he came out this year is a reasonable if not conservative slot.
And of course the NYG didn't select him in order to displace Jenkins in September (or in 2018).
Agreed. I hate 3 threads (so far) - see my comment on first thread.
This is a good pick, one our Giants have plenty of time for impact for his 2019 season, glass half full!

I agree, I really like this pick. IMO he can be a solid NFL CB. If we view him as a 2019 pick then he looks really good. If he can help this year even better.
It's like Gettleman built us a time machine and drafted us a CB from The Future!
Not too familiar with supp draft, but I assume we straight up "traded" this years 3-13 3rd round pick for next year's 16-0 3rd pick? Even better.
