Coach Josh McDaniels said that rookie Zane Beadles played well enough in Week 6 to remain the starter at right tackle.
Still, he didn't exactly have a ringing endorsement for the rookie keeping the job over Ryan Harris. "It's a competitive situation," McDaniels said. "If it makes them both better, that's a great thing for our team. I think Zane didn't play perfect, but he held up in most instances." Wed, Oct 20, 2010 09:20:00 AM

Zane Beadles - G - Broncos

Rookie Zane Beadles started at right tackle ahead of Ryan Harris in Sunday's loss to the Jets.

Harris' ankle is healed but he did not play a snap as the Broncos continue to shuffle their offensive line. With the running game struggling to open any holes, Harris will likely get a chance again at some point soon. Beadles is a natural guard.

Zane Beadles - G - Broncos

Rookie Zane Beadles is expected to start at right tackle Sunday in place of Ryan Harris (ankle).

Beadles was originally projected as the Broncos' left guard, but he's needed outside now. It's a big chance for the versatile second-rounder, who gets a nice matchup against Jacksonville's weak pass rush.

Zane Beadles - G - Broncos

Rookie LG Zane Beadles will see time at left tackle Sunday, with Stanley Daniels playing left guard on the first team offense.

Coach Josh McDaniels suggested that the left guard battle remains open to competition, but this seems more about finding a viable backup to Ryan Clady now that Tyler Polumbus has been dumped. We still expect Beadles to start Week 1 at left guard.

Zane Beadles - G - Broncos

Broncos agreed to terms with No. 45 overall pick OG Zane Beadles on a four-year, $4.2 million contract, including $2.7 million in guarantees.

A four-year starter at left tackle for Utah, the highly intelligent Beadles will move inside to left guard for the Broncos. He's expected to battle 33-year-old Russ Hochstein, coming off ACL surgery, and Seth Olsen for the starting job. For the health of the power rushing attack, the Broncos better hope Beadles wins out.

Zane Beadles - G - Broncos

The Broncos have moved second-round pick Zane Beadles to left guard.

Beadles, the 45th overall pick in April, was initially practicing at right tackle with Ryan Harris (toe) sidelined. Left guard, however, gives him his best shot to win a starting job. Beadles' competition will be journeyman Russ Hochstein, who is 33 years old and coming off reconstructive knee surgery.

Zane Beadles - G - Broncos

Zane Beadles and Tyler Polumbus are expected to get the first crack at replacing starting left tackle Ryan Clady (knee surgery).

The Broncos may also still give free agent Flozell Adams a look. Polumbus was awful in eight starts at right tackle last year, so it's scary to think how bad he'd be on the more demanding left. Beadles lacks the athleticism and length to play right tackle, let alone the blind side. Clady's absence for any amount of regular season time could be devastating to Denver's offense.

Zane Beadles - G - Broncos

Broncos second-round pick Zane Beadles will begin his career at right tackle.

Top-45 picks like Beadles usually start for mediocre teams like Denver, so Ryan Harris appears to have been put on notice. Harris is coming off a serious toe injury. If healthy, Harris will ideally win the position, as Beadles serves as a swing tackle/guard with some potential as a backup center.

Zane Beadles - G - Broncos

Broncos selected Utah OL Zane Beadles with the No. 45 overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.

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.

Zane Beadles - G - Broncos

Utah OT Zane Beadles strained his hamstring during pre-draft workouts last week.

A favorite of NFL Network's Corey Chavous, Beadles will likely be limited in Combine drills. Beadles was a four-year starter (50 games) and Academic All American at Utah. He is a projected mid- to late-round draft pick.
