The Denver Broncos continue their offensive focus in the 2010 NFL Draft, selecting offensive lineman Zane Beadles with the 45th overall pick Friday.
Beadles (6’4″, 310 lbs.) hails from Utah, where he played guard as a freshman in 2006 but moved to left tackle thereafter through his senior year. Pro scouts project him to move back inside at guard at the pro level, which would fill one of the Broncos’ biggest needs heading into this weekend’s draft.
As a tackle, Beadles was named first-team All-American in 2009 by the Football Writers Association of America. He started in 50 games as a four-year starter for the Utes.
A big, young, physical offensive lineman to fill this hollow interior o-line is just what the doctor ordered. On paper, Beadles is a good fit. Check back for a full scouting report to come.
