Moved this here to Niner Talk for you.
Baas will get hurt again like clockwork Iupati takes over and that will be the end of Bass's career in SF
I don't think Davis will start the season, but I see him starting the final 6-8 games. Iupati has enough power to pick up dumptrucks, but he seems too slow, so I'm not completely sold he'll start.
If they both start from week 1 then Solari and Brown should be given some kinda award.

Arizona just took D. Williams, NT. Should be some great matchups between he and Iupati over the next dozen years or so.
If they are not good enough to start, why pick them in the first round? They better show something. We need help on the OL, but they aren't exciting picks. They are not going to sell tickets. Hopefully they can keep the people who do upright.
yes, easily

our line was worst in the league

Totally disagree. Davis has more potential than any other OT in the draft. Potential Singletary as motivator and Solari as teacher should bring out. Iupati is a masher!! Frankie should be sizing him up for a rolex already!
We won't have a choice, do you seriously think we're gonna start Adam Synder this season? -Solari will have these guys ready for war around pre-season.

Trent Baalke worded it himself yesterday, both his first round picks are going to be day-one starters.

i definitely see both starting
Yeah I gotta agree both will start from day one. I don't think Iupati is too slow. He is a mauler with a nasty streak which is what this o-line needs. No more choir boys on the o-line.
I never thought that they would actually do this! A top OT and Iupati, they both should start. They will have a good teacher and a solid motivator, wow, 2 probable OL starters in one draft! I am excited (and no, I am not Alex Smith :)
