Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The 49ers continue to fortify their offensive line with the selection of Iupati -- and trading up again to do so. ... According to his
NFL.com scouting report, the 6-5, 331-pound Iupati is a massive guard that started three years at Idaho. He is one of the more powerful blockers in the draft and once he gets his hands on opponents it’s pretty much all over. Iupati was born in American Samoa and English is not his native language which can slow down his progress when it comes to learning new schemes and the playbook. While it may take Iupati a bit longer to develop into a front line player, he could have a long and productive career once he settles in.
