Is this years interior ol draft class considered to be weak?

It seems kind of weak to me. I don't really like any of the Center prospects. Some interesting guys at guard, but nobody I've been able to look at and say they're a plug-and-play starter for the next 10 years.

Well, in my ( I don't know sh*t) opinion can't that add to iupati's potential trade value.

Doubt it. Trades involving guards are rare. I can't even remember one.

It's worth holding onto Iupati, even if he's likely to leave after this season. He's a very good player that can help us win the SB. We're right on the doorstep of winning one. Now is not the time to trade an all-pro.

C Trai Turner LSU - played guard at college but I think could be dominant at Center.

G Laurent Duvernay-Tardif McGill - still raw but VERY talented, athletic and powerful.

Joe Looney would be better off at Center instead of Guard I think.

I think he will compete there with Kilgore this year...he's been trained at all 3 interior positions so that is very valuable. Imagine him and Boone and Iupati together inside. That's a lot of nastiness/attitude/beef.

This. I like Looney best at Center. I would also throw Ryan Seymour into the discussion. He is also able to play LG / RG + Center.

You're on fire today with all the under-the-radar players! Well done, sir, well done!

I think we should let Iupati walk, maybe Aldon too, and use the money to extend Kapernick and Crabtree.

No. You do not let a great pass rusher walk.
