Strengths
Started 50 career games and was a 4 year starter (3 at LT, 1 at LG) for the Utes. Solid at just about everything. Plays with very good leverage and doesn’t let people under him. Is a very smart player, reportedly scoring a 36 on the wonderlic, and shows great awareness. Sustains blocks until the end of the play.
Weaknesses
Not a great athlete. Doesn’t have good foot speed and he will struggle against quicker lineman. Doesn’t get a lot of push in the run game. Doesn’t have a lot of upside.
Analysis
Beadles isn’t a great athlete, which is why most project him to guard in the NFL. He is a smart player with decent measurables and great production. He’ll be a mid round pick and could probably start early on and be a solid player.
Experience
Began starting as a redshirt freshman and has started at multiple positions on the offensive line ever since.
