2010 NFL Draft - Zane Beadles

Meet the newest Bronco!
The Denver Broncos continue to think outside the box in this draft, selecting Zane Beadles with the 13th pick in the second round. Beadles spent the last two-plus seasons at offensive tackle for Utah, but he'll likely move into a guard spot at the next level. By most accounts, that transition should be a smooth one for him and it elevates his ceiling considerably. At 6'5", 310 pounds, Zane is yet another young, talented big body to plug in along the offensive line. He is known for - surprise! - his toughness, leadership, versatility and work ethic.
UPDATE: It has been brought to my attention that Beadles could slide even further inside and play center in Denver, so it'll be interesting to see how that pans out. I would also be remiss if I didn't note that Zane is a remarkably smart young man, personifying yet another tenet of the McDaniels' philosophy. By the way, for those still relying on media rankings and deeming this pick "yet another reach": it's time to throw those out. In a draft where Tyson Alualu goes 10th overall and Jimmy Clausen lasts until the 48th pick, perhaps we should forget about those publications that had the former projected as a second-rounder and the latter as a lock for the first half of the first round...

Damn.
We could have had Gerhart and taken Beadles in the third.
Gerhart.
He’s a weak receiver out of the backfield and, if McD had no use for Hillis, why take a slighty “improved” version early in the draft?

Who says he'd have been there?
Everyone here said Brandon Spikes would be there in the third as well. When you find the guy you want, you can’t afford to be conservative and wait.
Well, unless the Jets or NO were targeting him as a tackle...
…I suspect he would have been there. In fact, Pouncey’s the only C other than (possibly) Beadle who’s been taken.
And you can afford to wait. In fact, that’s one thing I’m seeing from McX so far that I think they need to improve on.
Suppose they wait
And in your crystal ball, Beadles is there at #80. Who do you propose they take instead? Gerhart? Maybe that’s not the direction McDaniels and Xanders want to go it. It’s well and good to say they should have gone for [player], but if the two guys in charge of putting the team together don’t feel they need him, then…why fault them? No sense in picking a guy who won’t fit their plans.
Personally, I’d be pissed if Denver got through 2 rounds without addressing the interior line. Another RB is good for nothing if he doesn’t have the blocking.
HT said he thinks he will play center for us..
Apparently he is pretty smart so i guess it would make sense.
I think he could start center right away.
With a little shiffling, he could start at guard too.
I expect to see him on the line, starting this year.

Wow
Off topic here, but Alfred Williams just said in an interview with Tebow that he “doubts” Tebow will succeed as a pro.
Tebow said he hopes to prove Williams wrong.
Where did you see it Jeff?
I just got Steve Young to back off McDaniels, so maybe I should be visiting Williams next.

His show on the Fan 104.3
He’s down at Dove Valley. Earlier today he said if he was back in the studio he’d punch somebody.
I don’t think he likes any of the picks so far.
He hated the draft last year
He raged about us wasting both 1st round picks and then throwing away what was a “definite top 10 pick” to move up to pick Phonz.
Last time I ever listened to him.

No. It's where he was picked.
Not the pick itself. Again, I can’t know for sure — and I defer to the experts — but I just haven’t seen anyone since we picked who would have had an interest in Beadles.
Houston was able to pick up a couple picks to trade back so that the Vikings could take Gerhart. I find it doubtful nobody was willing to trade up to pick at 45 so that we could regain a 4th round pick.
Where we could have selected Beadles, most likely.
Great Pick.

4) – #114 – Zane Beadles – OG/OC – (reach 17)
~~ DISCUSSION: Positional considerations are paramount at this point but the Big Board isn’t cooperating so I took Beadles as an OC because many analysts believe that’s where he belongs. Alternatives are Ted Larson (OC) and J. D. Walton (OC), who’s a surprisingly big reach here.
~~ REASONING: We need someone to play Center, OK? I like many other prospects at this point but it doesn’t matter. A real decision-making process wouldn’t suffer from the defect in this one, which strongly favors BPA. Beadles is actually highly regarded in some circles so this pick will seem surprising to laypeople and not to analysts. Waiting till ‘later’ to pick an OC will raise some eyebrows but that’s exactly what we may do.
~~ CONCERNS: The switch to Center is the biggest. What isn’t a big a concern is picking Beadles over the others, although I can’t provide a strong argument against switching to another Center prospect as the choice. I believe Beadles may actually be the better Center prospect, so don’t be surprised if he goes sooner.

Two mock kings?
Can’t beleive I didn’t pick up on him your mock. You think he can move inside?
inside, yes
As it says above: “I took Beadles as an OC.”
That’s the entire story on him, as I say in a post below. Draft analysts questioned his ability at LT (we’re not looking to use him there, I guarantee you) but had a big change of mind once they figured out he projected well as an OC/OG.
no goats, no glory.
Very nice Colinski
Character may be manifested in the great moments but it is made in the small ones -- Philip Brooks
Not thrilled
Sorry but this is reminding me of the Alfonso Smith pick when Rey Maualuga was there and then Richard Quinn at the end of the 2nd.
I know it is early but so far it doesn’t look impressive yet.
It just seems like McDaniels makes up his mind and overdrafts players. Like trading our 4th Rounder to trade up with New England for Demaryius Thomas.
Come on man.
That's Fine.
He targets the guys that he wants and makes sure he gets them. If every team in the draft was on autopilot, picking from a universal list and only according to need and/or BPA, then maybe he could afford to wait on those guys. By the way, Rey Maualuga broke his angle and got a DUI as a rookie playing as a strongside linebacker for a team that easily made the playoffs without him. I would ask you to give Smith and especially Quinn some time to show themselves before you write them off. I know you’re upset and have been since the Tebow pick last night, so I suggest maybe taking some time to digest the draft before getting too bent out of shape…

Rookie years do count you know. Some guys actually do play well as rookies. Some guys do show that they belong in the NFL. It’s not crazy to expect your highly drafted rookies to look decent.
In my opinion.
Some guys do
Most of them don’t. Especially those taken in the 2nd. There is a learning curve, you know. I mean this in all seriousness: temper your expectations. If Smith and Quinn have unproductive 2nd years, then I’ll subscribe to your thinking.
I just think you’re expecting these guys to do too much, too soon.

Hope the Sporting News is wrong:
“This is a questionable pick. Beadles is a limited athlete who seemed to be overwhelmed in postseason all-star games. He lacks the strength to play guard or the size and athleticism to play tackle.”
He had a 36 on the Wonderlich. 27 reps on the bench.
They're Wrong.

I feel it is more lets wait and see. I figure we are going to watch about half these guys fail long term. This pick seems to me that it was made because he could play any position on the o-line potentially. Therefore it is very possible that even if he starts out as a backup, or gods forbid on the practice squad, for a season then the next season he becomes depth for a critical portion of the team.

A couple of NFL Network...
…commentators said he’s already playing at the next level. Brandt says he is a quality player who excels at run blocking.
I think it may have been a reach, but it is the player we wanted and the trade potential just wasn’t there. He’s versatile enough to play across the line, a leader, and a character guy.
I haven’t seen film for myself, so I’ll have to check him out. But a few “experts” out there seem to like him quite a bit. What I’ve read so far makes me feel he’ll start. (I like TSN, but I disagree with them on this one. I don’t think Beadles is a superman, but he meets a need for the team, and can play across the line. Versatility is very under-rated, so I think the pick is good (not great).

See, after watching Houston trade down and get a pick
…I’m not convinced he would’ve gone before we had another shot at him.
OL rankings
I’ve given up listening to the average fan’s OL evaluations. It’s one position where the vast majority of fans can’t evaluate particularly well. Mayock kept his as his 5th best OG/OC for a reason. Look at how he grades out for his career.
no goats, no glory.
Good point
And even watching the highlights about half the time the lineman puts on a half-hearted block and watches as the play continues.
The ONLY players I did not see this so on the draft show were Iupati and Baluga (sp) Both of them kept running and looked like they just wanted to hit as many guys as they could till the whistle blew.
User name pronounced Air-Ah-Miss Originally from my days in the SCA, became a gamer and forum tag because it is odd and it is a name I like
the distinction is 'WHERE'
That’s the story on Beadles — his stock (as an OT) dove after he ranked highly originally but the decline reversed and he was rising again (Mayock ranks him as the 5th best interior-OL (note: interior)) once scouts recognized his potential as an OC.
Rankings for OLs are partly based on where players project, so Tackles are ranked higher because they play an impact position and are in demand. Beadles ranking when his utility as an OT was held in question but rose when re-evaluations recognized his suitability as an OC/OG.
As I recall, his arm length was blamed for some of his all-star performance shortcomings but his arm length, at 33¾, isn’t really that short for the interior (where arm length is less of an issue).
This pick is one people should study because it demonstrates the difference between the old style (ZB) OL under Shanahan and the new style of OL, as in Seth Olsen, etc.
Besides some of the traits Guru mentions above, Beadles’ GPA of 3.52 in mechanical engineering tells that intelligence is one of his qualifications for the Center position.
no goats, no glory.
response to Bronco_FTW
He lacks the strength to play guard or the size and athleticism to play tackle.
… but he’s perfect for an OC. SN is merely doing what many consumer oriented football publications did for years when they saw a ZBer and said: “he too skinny and can’t drive block.” Duh!
no goats, no glory.
This guy was picked way over his grade.
He may be a player at some point, but even Sayre had him in the 4th. I’m not impressed. McX has done a lot of good things with the trades, and then drafts ???
Yeah, I question this one at this point
Houston moved back from 51 to 69 and got a third from the Vikings.
I’m pretty sure Beadles would have been there in the 3rd.
No.
This happens every year and I can promise you that’s not the case. EVERYONE “reaches” and no one is safe. If you want a guy on your team, then take him. As I said above “If every team in the draft was on autopilot, picking from a universal list and only according to need and/or BPA, then maybe he could afford to wait on those guys.”

Well, there hasn't been a run on interior lineman
And the two tackles taken after — Ducasse and Brown — both were scouted higher.
But like I said on the other thread, I don’t think the pick was bad. Just the when.
I agree
I dont think he is a bad pick as much as a bad pick at this point. Holy cow how can you not take that Safety or Gerheart with that pick knowing you can get this guy with your 2nd 3rd round pick much later on.
Seriously?
How about this answer to your question: because you can’t KNOW that he’ll be there later on. I’m just gonna keep quoting myself until I get tired of copy/pasting…

You can keep quoting yourself, but that won't change minds.
I mean, I hope we had more than one option at center on our board…
Gerheart
The best moment of the second round for me was when Gerheart was taken by the Vikes. I am soooo sick of hearing about him on MHR. If we had taken him it would have gotten 10 times worse with all of the profile pictures of him and all of the Gerheart sig’s and profile names. Thank god. Go for Moreno who will be beastly this year with our new and improved O-line, which was the only problem with our short yardage last year.
Beadles is a bad, bad man. In a goog way.
Not only is he smart and strong but he’s a winner and is very versatile. Can probably play every position on the o-line.
From his bio:
In last year’s undefeated, Sugar Bowl championship season, he was named Utah’s Most Valuable Offensive Lineman—leading the Utes with 40 knockdowns, 42 pancake blocks and 27 cuts.

goog fit I thought
The sound guys were making as he hit them!

I think you have to look at the pick this way:
Maybe he wasn’t the best Center or Guard or Tackle on the board individually, but he was the best player who could do all 3. Further proof that McD values versatility more than just about anybody
Good point.
Versatility. He can play several different points on the OL. Not every guy can do that.

Side Note
… when was the last time we’ve seen this few WR’s chosen by this point? (almost end of 2nd and only 3 gone)
Plus....
A lot of people who have rated Beadles are thinking of him as a guard. On NFLN they still speak as though Denver is going to play him at guard.
Maybe they will but this kid seems like he’s best suited to play inside and as Broncos fans, we all seem to be hearing that Denver is going to put him at center.
You have to remember, a lot of these people look at teams on a national level, but we have a more close in view of the Broncos than they do so our perspective is going to be different than Mike Mayock’s.
If this guy plays at center, we could be in good shape. Not sure about this pick personally, but lets see what the kid can do.

I'd rather have John Jerry, Mitch Petrus, Vladmir Duccase, Jon Asamoah than Beadles.....
So far, I agree that this draft has been a complete failure! I hate to say it, but I don’t like Tebow, and I really dislike Beadles! Like last year, we pass up more talent than we get. McD want everyone he selects to have been a member of the Vienna Boys Choir…it just isnt happening! Really!

More info about him from the google:
“A favorite of NFL Network draft analyst Corey Chavous, Beadles started all four years for the Utes and is highly intelligent, leaving school with a 3.54 GPA as a mechanical engineer. Beadles was a left tackle in college, but the 6-foot-4, 307-pound two-time first-team All-WAC pick will likely end up inside due to a lack of ideal athleticism and short arms. Mike Mayock believes he could even play center, which is a weakness in Denver.”
“Mike Mayock reported on NFL Network that he thinks Zane Beadles has the perfect makeup of a NFl Center. He’s smart – awarded a post-graduate scholarship for continued study.”
Bill Williamson had us taking Zane in the 5th in a mock he did on the 22nd.

I think you’re taking that too literally. Football is a mental game as much as it is physically – even more in many respects. Some people value not just strong players, but smart, tough, versatile players.
We’re really just talking about two different schools of thought, but both have the same goal – to win. The difference is one is geared more toward a ‘team first’ attitude.
We’ll see how it works out.

The game is VERY mental at OC.
The OC has a lot of defensive readng responsibilities to assist the QB.

I quit. It just seems a team of bad boys or headaches: Big Ben, Plax, Marshall, Haynesworth will beat a team of good players and scholars anytime. Football is football. We need the meanest, biggest, fastest players on the field.
I disagree.
Those guys may be “great”, but they don’t do jack for your team if they aren’t on the field with suspensions. (Ben will be out for a third of this season, Marshall was always a suspension risk and faked an injury under Shanahan and later McDaniels, Haynesworth stomped a guy in the head, etc).

Right.
Is Tebow not mean, big, athletic, etc.? Is Thomas not big, athletic, fast, etc.? Is Beadles (at center, apparently) undersized, weak, meek, etc.? If you want to complain about this team and this draft, at least make some sense…

Nice guys finish last and give great high character interviews explaining why they got blown out!
Just tryin to have fun here, I have no idea if Beadles is the right choice. Seems like a reach if you have an MSM mind, seems like something McD would do if you’ve paid attention the last two drafts. If this team fails, its going down hard and we’ll all know who to blame…its not like is Xanders making these calls
Looks like McDX is pleased with who they think they will get next...
Not much movement by us tonight. I figured we would see some deals
Tennant, Walton, Decker, Williams...
hopefully an ILB thats left…
Bleeding Orange & Blue in The Netherlands
Sean Lee would have been great here.
But it looks like they’re happy with Haggans / Larsen / Woodyard / Greisen (?) at ILB.
Theres still plenty of talent and if McDX want to they could trade down...
They got the three they targeted..
He definitely seems smart enough to play Center
Mechanical Engineering major, high score on the Wonderlic. Lets see if we get an official word from McD, although my expectation is that McD will say he will “compete at several positions”

Dude calm down, Im just sayin SOMETIMES it's a fine line when drafting
players that can play multi positions decently but none at exceptional levels. Thats all. I hope Beadles pans out even though he’s rated lower on MSM boards. I have no idea how he’ll do or how we’ll use him. By the way, now that Tebow is a Bronco ( I was wrong) I"m one of his biggest fans, hope his versatility works out too…..
Not playing "exceptional" isn't necessarily a harmful thing
If McDaniels plans on running “amoeba” offenses and defenses (as I’ve seen them called), it helps to have guys who can be plugged into any of several positions. They don’t have to do so at an All-Pro level, so long as they execute as a team.
It’d be great to have guys that other teams have to game plan for, but I think having roster flexibility ultimately is a better route.
your very good at putting words into my mouth aren't you. No where in my first
statment did I say we don’t have good players. I didn’t even hint at that.
Denver had now drafted a true Center.
At this point, I believe that Beadles will play at guard after all (likely the right side), with Walton at center, and Clady / Harris staying at OT.
