Maybe I was reading too much into that but after listening to Bortles, Olson and Bradley interview on the homepage it's quite obvoius how important they hope/think Beachum will be.  (also Gus said that he should be ready for the start of training camp and that they had to slow him down a little because he's so competitive he wanted to partecipate in some of this minicamp too)

 

Olson said that on film they saw qualities in him to make him a top 10 LT and that their expectations is that once healthy he will prove that.

Olson also added that while the right side of the Oline is going well, at the left side the competition is open and about Joeckel he didn't even comment about him at LT but said that "at LG he looked good considering he never played there" and then he went on to talk about Beachum at LT and their hopes for him.

 

Bortles also put emphasis on the return of Parnell and Beachum at the tackles position and didn't name Joeckel once.

 

Unless Beachum ends up being really disappointing or Joeckel suddenly starts playing that much better once the pads are on I think Joeckel days at LT may be over.

 

Also let's keep an eye on Bowman, undrafted rookie TE that we signed and that has been performing so well apparently with a crazy catch yesterday.

They want to give a look at him at fullback too, Gus specifically mentioned him and their will to see what he can do at fullback as they don't have one on the roster and if he can manage both positions he could be important the team.

 

Him and Wilson appear to be the 2 undrafted rookies that have impressed the most so far
