Draft Rewind 2010 - Zane Beadles - Denver Broncos

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about ZANE BEADLES: Utah, 6043 307 5.35. Four-year starter. Plays left tackle, but is projected to move inside to guard. Plays in a spread offense. Smooth footwork in pass protection with good body quickness, change of direction, and the ability to redirect and recover. Starts in a preset two-point stance. Plays with good arm extension. Physical, blue collar player that will maul a defender in the running game at times. Plays with a good base in both the running game and pass protection. Quick enough to cut off an inside slant move. Smooth feet in transition on twist or “x” stunts. Flashes an explosive punch. Can run the pass rusher up the field and around the quarterback. Asked to cut block in the spread formation. Rarely overextends as a run blocker. Brings his feet with him. A forced knee bender that stays engaged. Locks on the breast plate and steers the defender. A technique savvy player that is a strong run blocker. Ties up pass rushers. Effective in pass pro to mirror and slide his feet. Plays square to defender. Value comes with his intelligence and ability to be a guard and an emergency tackle. A 4-for-1 player. Did not work out at the Combine due to a right hamstring strain. Third/fourth round. (A- 33 3/4, H-9 3/4, BP-27, 10-1.85).

Mike Iupati is a wide-bodied road grader that is physical and flashes a
punch that shocks defenders. Jon Asamoah is aggressive in his approach.
Stays engaged and maintains a good base and active feet in pass protection.
Zane Beadles plays left tackle but projects inside to guard. Physical
player. Effective in pulls. Stays on his feet. Needs to get more consistency
in his hand use. Mike Johnson was more inconsistent in 2009 than his
junior year. Struggled more in space. Worked to keep a good base in pass
protection. Loses leverage if he does not play with knee bend. Vladimir
Ducasse moved to the United States in 2002 from Haiti. A raw athletic
talent that projects to guard from left tackle. AVERAGE
