And as luck would have it: we need a RG

"IF" he could be of help by all means pick him up!

Could be an improvement at RT as well, although I know there's still some hope for Fisher.

Could be valuable for his versatility alone. You never know when someone might get injured.

Beadles received a PFF grade of 32.9 last season, good for ranking 79th among offensive tackles.

For comparison's sake, Ogbuehi received a grade of 41.0, ranking him at 70th among offensive tackles.

My Jaguars sources tell me that he wasn't very good when he played guard for them.  It would seem that there was a good reason as to why the 9ers kept bouncing him around to different positions before cutting him.

If he can play RG, then why not. Im not sold on the guys we have now.

[phil413]

He fits the narrative as a cut FA to not play into the comp pick formula, and they like versatility. His Pro Bowl year was 2012, so I don't know how much he has left in the tank based off of the PFF stats above, but I'd be for it.

I think he rode the pine much of last season

I don't put much credit in PFF, but he was not released as a salary move.  He was only making about $4 million a year.

Beadles had already lost his starting job in 2017 then over the offseason the Niners signed free agent OC Weston Richberg (5 yr $48 million) and OG Jonathan Cooper (1 yr $5 mill) then drafted Mike McGlinchy.

Got 4 starts at RT because the starter got injured.

[sandwedge]

I'll pass. Apparently he has declined since 2012 and we have a lot of young guys needing snaps in practice. Why bring in a declining vet to steal snaps.

well which four starts the 0-4 or the 4-0

Beadles has never been good and absolutely NEVER should have made a PB; being on the Broncos, helped.

[JungleRock85]

I would love to find a Right Tackle but we should have added somebody during the draft. This guy isn't the answer. I still have hope for Westerman at Right Guard but it will be a miracle if Fisher or Bobby Hart somehow are able to play decent at Right Tackle in my opinion.

He started pretty much every game for the Broncos for four straight years (62 of 64)

Then Jacksonville signed him to be a starter (32 of 32)

Then the Niners signed him to be a starter.

He may not be great, but multiple coaching staffs thought he was at least starter quality.

I honestly know nothing about the guy.  Just know some people here have tossed around the idea that we would sign some vet that got cut by another team.

[*Wyche'sWarrior*]

Couldn't hurt to kick the tires as an experienced back-up or potential starter.

Agree and we need to kick the tires of any OL that is any good at all this offseason. 

[SYLVIA]

He has been cut twice, I pass.

Mhm, just like Gabe Carimi was signed away twice to be a starter; those teams found out pretty quickly, that he wasn't up to snuff.

My guess is that Beadles was given a bit more rope; those Denver and Jacksonville lines were absolutely atrocious.
