Round 2, Pick 45 - Denver Broncos - Zane Beadles




Zane Beadles, G, Utah
Ht: 6’ 4 3/8” Wt:  310

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Zane Beadles is a tough, smart lineman who doesn't play with a tremendous amount of power.  He would probably be best served playing guard because he doesn't have the speed to play tackle in the NFL.  He's the perfect type of Broncos' player.  

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Experienced, underpowered college left tackle whose intangibles grade out much more highly than his tape evaluation. Does not have the length or foot quickness to stay outside and lacks ideal bulk and playing temperament for the inside. Could make a roster initially as a backup swingman while he develops physically and has even warranted some consideration as a center, although he lacks the quickness desired for the position. Will attract the most interest from zone-blocking schemes.
NFL projection: Fourth- to fifth-round pick.

Lindy’s Sports scouting report:  Moving Beadles inside would allow him to use his athleticism and size to his full advantage.  There might be teams willing to give him a chance at left tackle because of his pass protection skills.  The fact that he could step in and play either spot makes him a solid mid-round selection for all teams.
