9ers on NFL Network 3/25

Listening to Total Access on SIRIUS radio as I write. Waiting to hear the worst from these alleged "experts"....

Torry Holt and Solomon Wilcots actually both really liked our team except they both dislike our OL and they want us to draft Williams and Iupati. They think that if we can protect Smith he'll do well and if we can open up more holes for Gore we'll be a special team.

#13- OT Trent Williams

#17- OG Mike Iupati

Tory Holt????

They should have Mike Mayock!

Williams and Iupati would give us a nasty line

And I FULLY AGREE!

Specially with Sterling Sharpe's idea of just drafting o-line in the entire first round. -Cause face it, we all want Spiller/some other hood ornament but we gotta fix that line, it's trash, and people just can't face the reality that we really only have 2 players on the line (right now) that would be starters on any other NFL playoff-caliber team (Staley/Heitmann).

Gotta build the car before installing the stereo and leopard seat covers!

Staley is overrated too. He's solid but not great. Would be sweet if Williams could take the LT spot and move Staley to RT

How likely is it that Trent Williams is still gonna be there at #13?

Are you sure Iupati is good value at #17, when it seems pretty obvious that he's one of several interior linemen who will be available, and several of them will be there in the Second Round. So why pass on some more elite guy at #17 to take Iupati?

The Senior Bowl showed that Iupati is a Guard, not a tackle. The Combine showed that he's big, but he's not especially fast, or quick, or strong. So why take him at #17 when we could get Pouncey or Asamoah at #49, or after, and use #17 for, oh, I don't know, even a guy like SPILLER might be more bang for the buck.

Just askin.

We'd be using him at Guard. new line if this draft went down

Staley...Iupati...Heitmann...Rachal...Williams

Very young but Solari has been known to get rookies on the field and play well

all this o line talk is making me miss bob mckittrick

Pouncey will not be available at #49 and it's possible that Asamoah won't either.
