Mike Iupati
Projection: 1st/2nd Round

I think Iupati is going to be out of our reach. Norm Hitzguiz was talking about him the other day as a possible top 10 pick. Although I think that's way too high, that still would mean he's a middle 1st rounder and teams with two number 1 picks, like SF, who need O-line help, would scoop him up quickly. As of now, although it's a deep draft for Tackles, there aren't that many top flight O-linemen in this draft ( I can think of two ) so they're going to get picked up quickly.

By the way, I wouldn't bother with any Oklahoma O-linemen in the 1st round.

On the other hand, there's a TON of DEs too choose from.

A Niner's fan friend of mine says their GM is cheap when it comes to interior OL.

They let Justin Smiley walk and their OL sucks.
