I believe Iupati will be one of the most dominant guards in the NFL once he gets coached up. I predict he will win the starting LG position before the season starts and stay there for the next 10 years.
Mike Iupati will be the impact rookie this year.

same here. I was soooooooooooooo happy when i heard the pick. I'm sure all of 49er nation was too. Finally some quality linemen.

Yeah I think Ginn will probably get the starting job as our KR/PR, but this Vann kid is pretty impressive from what I've seen on tape. Better to have more good return men then less.
Im tired of seeing Brandon Jones back there calling for fair catches at our 3 yard line.

we better HOPE Davis and Iupati have a big impact this year or it might be the same crap we've had over the last 3 seasons from the Oline. But I think Vann can be the steal of the draft!!! hopefully he matches his hype from college!!

I think Vann if he makes the roster. I hope Iupati and Davis as well.

i see iupati ahead of davis at this point, we REALLY need right tackle production and i am not sure a 20 yr old in a league full of grown men is ready to be dominant right from the get go

Yah a 20 year old going up against grown men does scare me.

I don't want to jinx anything, but I think Anthony Davis will struggle with the change of speed in the pro game, just like any rookie coming out of college. I hope he pans out and becomes a great RT for us, but I have a feeling he will not be able to handle some grown a$$ men bullrushing him. Like you mentioned, he's only 20.

I would like to see our two first rounders play well right away but the rookie I'd like to see have a great season is taylor mays. Defensive rookie of the year!

2010-2011:
I'd guess Iupati this year, and Williams or Vann in the return game depending on who makes the team. Hopefully Davis is serviceable and a better starter at RT than Snyder
2011-2012Next Season:
Taylor Mays and Davis hopefully step uo
2012-2013
Dixon and Bownman hopefully step up.
Grant and Adams probably won't ever have much of an impact (the #s aren't in Grant's favor to even make the team, the same could be said for Vann), and Byham was drafted to have a pretty specific and limited role on the team (although it's a necessary one)

I can already envision Iupati pulling with Frank running right behind him for many touchdowns.
