Western Michigan CB Sam Beal is petitioning the NCAA to become eligible for NFL's supplemental draft next month, when he could become highest player selected since Browns used a 2nd-round supplemental pick on WR Josh Gordon in 2012, per league sources.

Worth throwing a bid at him? I know we drafted two corners but Beal is projected as a first rounder next year. It couldn't hurt to at least bid a 4th round pick for that sort of talent. It sounds like he originally thought about entering the draft this year, decided not to, but now has changed his mind again.  it turns out he failed out of school and that is the reason he wants to enter the draft now. 

Beal has the talent to be the number 1 corner in the draft next year (had he been able to stay in school).  I honestly think we need to make a move for this guy and I wouldn't mind throwing next year's third rounder at him.  We will get 3-4 comp picks next year that we can move around in the draft and try to make up for the lost pick.
